Bob Clark was a former correspondent for ABC News. He is best known for covering the assassinations of President Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and is believed to be the only journalist present at both Kennedys’ assassinations.

Clark was riding in a press car in the president's motorcade at the time of the murder, and had been covering the senator’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, Clark was a correspondent for ABC News. He covered daily news and White House news as well as campaigns, conventions and elections. He also served as the host of ABC’s Issues and Answers, a Sunday morning public-affairs program. He was the show’s host for six years, but was associated in some capacity with the program’s entire 21-year run.

During the 1980s and 1990s, after Clark had retired from ABC, he appeared several times as a guest host and commentator on C-SPAN.

He died in 2015 at the age of 93.
