Actor and stand-up comedian Anthony Clark died at age 62 from complications related to pneumonia, according to Deadline.
Best known for playing Greg Warner on the CBS sitcom “Yes, Dear,” Clark passed away on Tuesday, November 11, 2026.
“When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows,” Mike O’Malley, co-star, wrote in a tribute on Instagram reported by Yahoo. “The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed.”
Clark starred in all 122 episodes of “Yes, Dear,” which ran for six seasons from 2000 to 2006. Created by Greg Garcia and Alan Kirschenbaum, the CBS comedy followed two young couples living under the same roof with starkly contrasting views on parenting.
Garcia recalled his late friend’s sharp wit in a statement provided to Deadline. “The things that would come out of his mouth were so unexpected and hilarious,” Garcia said. “Just a few weeks ago we were laughing hysterically on the phone, trading jokes and telling stories.”
Before headlining the CBS hit, Clark led the NBC sitcom “Boston Common” as Boyd Pritchett from 1996 to 1997. He also starred opposite Dan Aykroyd as Rev. Todd Tucker in the ABC sitcom “Soul Man” and hosted Season 4 of “Last Comic Standing” in 2006.
Born in Lynchburg, Virginia, on April 4, 1964, Clark graduated from Emerson College in 1986 with a mass communication degree, as noted by The Hollywood Reporter. He launched a successful stand-up career that included a featured spot in HBO’s 1995 Young Comedians special alongside Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K.
His film credits included roles in “The Thing Called Love” alongside River Phoenix and Sandra Bullock, as well as Michael Bay’s 1996 action thriller “The Rock.” Longtime manager Barry Katz told Deadline that Clark eventually stepped back from Hollywood to focus on real estate.
“He will be missed for the joy, happiness, and love he brought to everyone he worked with and the audiences that were blessed to see his undeniable performances,” Katz told Deadline.
