Howard Stern’s longtime agent Don Buchwald passed away on Monday at age 88.
Buchwald, who got the nickname ‘Superagent’ from the shock jock, died of natural causes at his home back east in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, his eponymous agency announced on Tuesday.
The Brooklyn native started Don Buchwald & Associates in 1977 with a core group of five agents and expanded to Los Angeles in 1992. The firm, now known as Buchwald, employs 130 staff members who specialize in various sectors of entertainment and media.
‘I promised my father that the incredible agency he built from the ground up 47 years ago will not only continue to flourish but will evolve as we forge our path ahead,’ his daughter, Julia Buchwald, president of Buchwald’s West Coast offices, said in a statement, per Deadline.
‘I, along with my devoted teammates, intend to keep this promise and make Don proud.’
