Co-star pays tribute
O'Malley, who played Jimmy Hughes in the series, wrote: "Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy." He added: "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."
Clark first gained fame with a 1994 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and he built his name performing stand-up on the Boston comedy circuit during the 1990s.
Career on Yes, Dear and beyond
The pair were central characters on Yes, Dear, which ran for six series from 2000. Clark played main character Greg Warner, whose life was followed alongside his troublesome neighbour Jimmy Hughes, portrayed by O'Malley. The series attracted millions of viewers per episode.
Clark starred in 122 episodes of the primetime sitcom, which ended in 2006 when he opted to move to hosting Last Comic Standing, a show later hosted by British TV presenter Fearne Cotton.
Later in life, Clark had a role in the TV thriller West of Liberty. He passed away on November 10, 2026.
