Don Buchwald, who founded his eponymous Hollywood talent agency Don Buchwald & Associates in 1977 and counted Howard Stern among his many clients, died Monday of natural causes. He was 88.

Buchwald died peacefully surrounded by his family, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

He was nicknamed "Superagent" by Stern and is often mentioned — but rarely heard — on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show. "I'm not a particularly showy person," he told The New York Times in a 2018 interview.
