O’Malley remembered seeing Clark perform at The Comedy Connection, where he and Lisa "laughed and laughed." He added, "He was so unique — one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations," noting he was "a fan before [he] was a friend." The pals last spoke "three weeks ago" by phone, with O'Malley writing, "He had us laughing loudly once again." O'Malley concluded his post, which included snapshots from the CBS sitcom that "ended 20 years ago after 122 episodes," with "Rest in peace Tony."

A third commenter remarked, "'Yes, Dear' was a great show. ! to all that loved and knew him," and a fourth lamented, "'Yes, Dear' got us through some times ! RIP."
Celebrities also paid their respects. Comedian Dane Cook, who performed with Clark in Boston, wrote, "He was one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Destroyed to a point he made you wanna quit right then and there while watching him do it effortlessly. This is really terrible to hear. ! "
"Reno 911!" actor Nick Swardson took to Instagram to remember Clark as "one of his best friends." Swardson, who opened for Clark's stand-up shows "for years," shared, "I had so many great times with this dude. Non stop laughs. I hope he is at peace now. RIP Tony."
