Anthony Clark, the standup comedian who became a star in sitcoms like Yes, Dear and Boston Common, died at the age of 62.
The news was announced by his Yes, Dear costar Mike O'Malley in a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter) paying tribute to Clark.
"The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed," O'Malley wrote. "He was so unique — one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations. I was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago.
