Anthony Clark, the comedian and actor best known to television audiences as Greg Warner on Yes, Dear, has died at 62. His former co-star Mike O’Malley announced the news on Nov. 11, saying Clark died the previous day. O’Malley and fellow comedians have since shared memories of Clark’s warmth, unusual comic voice and impact on Boston’s stand-up scene. The cause of death has not been disclosed in the reports reviewed for this article.
For Canadian viewers revisiting the CBS sitcom, the news has brought attention to a performer whose career stretched from Boston comedy clubs to six seasons of network television. Yes, Dear ran from 2000 to 2006, and Clark appeared in all 122 episodes, according to coverage by the Los Angeles Times and TV Insider.
O’Malley, who played Jimmy Hughes opposite Clark on Yes, Dear, announced the death in a social media post. He recalled seeing Clark perform in Boston during the 1990s, when the comic was already drawing strong crowds. O’Malley described Clark’s material as distinctive: he would laugh along with the absurdity of his own stories, drawing the audience further into the joke.
O’Malley also said they had spoken by phone about three weeks before Clark’s death. That personal detail gives the tribute its immediacy: it describes not only the actor’s public work, but a friendship that continued well after their sitcom ended. The Los Angeles Times report also quoted Clark’s longtime manager Barry Katz, who praised the joy Clark brought to colleagues and audiences.
Tributes have highlighted Clark’s roots as a live performer, not only his television credits. TV Insider reported that Dane Cook recalled performing with Clark at Boston’s Comedy Connection and called him one of the best live acts he had seen. Jay Mohr remembered Clark’s performances at the Boston club Stitches. Nick Swardson, who said he opened for Clark for years, described him as a close friend and recalled their time together with affection.
The posts point to the same through-line: Clark’s reputation in comedy clubs preceded his sitcom fame, and his peers remembered the energy of those live sets. These are personal recollections rather than a formal industry statement, but they help explain why the news has prompted a response from both television colleagues and stand-up comics.
Clark was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1964 and studied mass communications at Emerson College in Boston, where he built his stand-up career. Before Yes, Dear, he appeared in the HBO Young Comedians special in 1995 and held roles in NBC’s Boston Common and CBS’s Soul Man. His screen credits also included The Thing Called Love and The Rock; he later hosted the fourth season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, the Los Angeles Times reported.
For many viewers, Greg Warner remains the best-known role. The sitcom followed two couples sharing a home, with Clark and Jean Louisa Kelly as Greg and Kim Warner and O’Malley and Liza Snyder as Jimmy and Christine Hughes. Its six-season run gave Clark a sustained presence in a familiar ensemble comedy, while his stand-up background shaped the quick, conversational humour he brought to the character.
As of this update, reports have not identified a cause of death, and no further details should be assumed. The immediate public response is focused on tributes and on audiences revisiting Clark’s work. If Clark’s family or representatives share additional information, that could clarify the circumstances; until then, the confirmed account remains that O’Malley announced Clark’s death at 62 and colleagues remembered his comedy and friendship.
Clark died on Nov. 10, 2026, according to the announcement shared by Mike O’Malley the following day.
