Stern’s Agent Don Buchwald Dead
Buchwald, whose bi-coastal agency, BUCHWALD handles a number of high profile clients, his biggest client was Stern. As TMZ notes: “DB repped Howard personally, while also acting as his manager and publicist. HS was Don’s single personally handled client … and Howard referred to ‘Superagent Don Buchwald’ over the years on the radio. Indeed, Buchwald was instrumental in helping Stern land a mega-deal at SiriusXM worth an estimated $90 million a year.
Late Monday, Tim Sabean, President Sabean Media, and the the creator of the Howard Stern Channels on SiriusXM (right, with Buchwald), posted this photo and sentiment to Twitter/X: “I lost my closest pal today… you left an iconic legacy… I miss you with all my heart and soul. RIP my dear friend. Tim.”
Steve Cohen, former SiriusXM SVP of Sports Programming, posted: “RIP my dear Don from Bensonhurst. An incredible friend, mentor and philanthropist. When I was down you lifted me up. You made me smarter, wiser and taught me to be a deep thinker. Amazing that we first bonded over NY Giants football. Deepest condolences to the Buchwald family.”
