Clark reportedly died from complications related to pneumonia.

O’Malley remembered him as “a hilarious guy”, recalling how the comedian had already established a strong reputation in Boston when they first met 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…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 starred alongside O’Malley, Jean Louisa Kelly and Liza Snyder in Yes, Dear, which followed two couples sharing a home. Created by Greg Garcia and Alan Kirschenbaum, the sitcom ran for six seasons from 2000.

Executive producer Garcia also paid tribute, describing Clark as having “the most insane sense of humor” and recalling their recent conversations and shared laughter.

Clark's career included appearances in HBO's 1995 Young Comedians, the 1997 film A Thing Called Love and Michael Bay's The Rock. He also led the television series Boston Common and Soul Man.

In 2006, he returned to the comedy spotlight as host of the fourth season of Last Comic Standing.

His longtime manager Barry Katz described him as “one of the funniest and most talented comedian/actors I have ever had the pleasure of watching”.

Following his departure from Hollywood, Clark moved into buying and selling real estate. His contributions to television and stand-up comedy will be remembered by colleagues and audiences alike.
