American actor and comedian Anthony Clark, best known for starring in the hit sitcom "Yes, Dear," has passed away at the age of 62 due to complications from pneumonia, according to reports.
His longtime co-star and friend Mike O'Malley announced the passing on the platform X, sharing an emotional tribute to their decades-long friendship.

Born in April 1964 in Lynchburg, Virginia, Clark studied mass communications at Emerson College before launching his career in stand-up comedy. In 1995, he appeared in HBO's "Young Comedians Special" alongside prominent comics like Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. He soon transitioned to film and television, landing roles in movies such as "The Thing Called Love" and "The Rock," as well as appearing on the sitcom "Ellen."
Clark secured his most iconic role in 2000, starring as Greg Warner in the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear." The series explored the contrasting parenting styles of two young couples and ran for six seasons and 122 episodes. Following the show's conclusion in 2006, Clark hosted NBC's comedy competition series "Last Comic Standing" and later starred in the 2011 film "My Uncle Rafael."
