Anthony Clark, best known for his role in the sitcom "Yes, Dear," has died. He was 62.
"Anthony was one of the funniest and most talented comedian and actors I have ever had the pleasure of watching," his longtime manager, Barry Katz, told Fox News Digital. "It was an honor to represent him and he will be missed for the joy, happiness, and love he brought to everyone he worked with and the audiences that were blessed to see his undeniable performances. "
According to Deadline, Clark died on Nov. 10 from complications of pneumonia.
"Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy," his "Yes, Dear" co-star Mike O’Malley wrote on X. "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. I was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again. Attached are some snapshots from our last episode of Yes Dear, which ended 20 years ago after 122 episodes. Rest in peace. Tony."
Born in 1964, the Virginia native kickstarted his career in comedy at an early age. In 1986, Clark, who graduated from Emerson College with a mass communication degree, won a national college comedy award.

"This is my friend Anthony Clark. One of my best friends for a long time. He was known for the TV shows ‘Boston Common’ ‘Yes, Dear’ and the movie ‘The Rock’. He was a massive stand up out of Boston and I opened for him for years. I had so many great times with this dude. Non stop laughs. I hope he is at peace now. RIP Tony."
