Actor and comedian Anthony Clark, best known for playing Greg Warner in the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear, has died at the age of 62. Clark died on November 10, and his former co-star Mike O’Malley announced his death in a social media tribute the following day.
O’Malley remembered Clark as a comedian who had already built a strong following in Boston before making his way into television. In a post on X, he recalled watching Clark perform at The Comedy Connection in the mid-1990s.
“When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows,” 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.”
According to a report by Deadline, Clark died from complications related to pneumonia. However, these details have not been publicly confirmed by his family.

Yes, Dear creator Greg Garcia pays tribute
Greg Garcia, executive producer of Yes, Dear and creator of My Name Is Earl, also remembered Clark in comments to Deadline.
Garcia said the two had reconnected in recent years and spoke on the phone every month. He described Clark as having “the most insane sense of humor” of anyone he knew.
Garcia recalled that Clark had recently encouraged him when he decided to try stand-up comedy for the first time. Their last conversations took place just weeks before Clark's death, when they exchanged jokes and stories.
Clark's former colleagues and fellow comedians have remembered him for his distinctive humour, his early success on the Boston comedy circuit and the friendships he maintained throughout his career.
