Clark’s “Yes, Dear” co-star Mike O’Malley announced his death on social media, calling him a “hilarious guy.”

“When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows. The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed. He was so unique — one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations,” O’Malley said.

He said he and Clark spoke on the phone three weeks ago and that “He had us laughing loudly once again.”
