Honoring the Legacy of Bob Broder: A Pillar of the Entertainment Industry

Bob Broder, a highly regarded talent agent, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. He led the thriving Broder Kurland literary agency for nearly three decades before stepping into a leadership role at Chuck Lorre Productions.

Broder’s family confirmed his passing on September 23rd, stating he was surrounded by loved ones during his final moments.

A Legendary Career

With an impressive roster that included some of the most prominent showrunners and directors of the last half-century—such as James Burrows, Chuck Lorre, “Modern Family” co-creator Christopher Lloyd, and “Cheers” co-creators Glen and Les Charles—Bob Broder was an industry titan. Known for his fierce negotiation skills, he was also respected for his strong ethical standards in business dealings.

Broder’s deliberate choice of words and his commanding voice made him a figure who naturally drew attention. His involvement extended beyond business; he was active in philanthropy and held a position on the board of the Association of Talent Agencies.

Significant Moments and Legacy

In a heartfelt statement about his passing, the Broder family noted the significance of his death occurring on Rosh Hashanah. They stated,

“In Jewish tradition, passing away on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, holds deep spiritual meaning. It is believed that a person who dies on this holy day is viewed as a tzaddik, a person of exceptional righteousness.”

They also remarked on his grace and dignity in facing his illness and highlighted his beloved family: wife Cindy, daughter Julie, son Greg, and his extended family.

Broder co-founded Broder Kurland Agency with fellow literary agent Norman Kurland in 1978, which thrived amid the surge of network television during the late ’70s and through the ’90s. His client list included many top names like Don Bellisario, Chris Carter, and Martha Williamson. The agency also nurtured future stars in the agency business, such as CAA’s Chris Silbermann and UTA’s Matt Rice.

Transformative Contributions

The debut of “Cheers” on NBC in 1982 marked a watershed moment for Broder Kurland. Despite its rocky start, the show blossomed into one of television’s most beloved comedies, becoming a cornerstone of NBC’s lineup, alongside its acclaimed spin-off, “Frasier.” The success of these shows undoubtedly contributed to the financial prosperity of Broder’s agency.

In a nod to his influence, Broder’s profile even made a brief but memorable appearance in the closing moments of “Cheers,” demonstrating his close rapport with the show’s creators and cast.

Continued Impact in the Industry

In 2006, Broder Kurland was acquired by ICM Partners, where Broder took on a senior management role until 2012. He later joined Chuck Lorre Productions, playing an essential role in overseeing global licensing deals for hit shows like “The Big Bang Theory” during a time of booming streaming services.

Broder was also known for strengthening the industry by implementing an agent trainee program at ICM, aimed at empowering young professionals within the agency, ensuring the next generation was well-prepared for the dynamic landscape of entertainment.

A Life Beyond Work

Outside of his successful career, Broder cherished his time in his Utah home, indulging in hobbies like poker, hosting cigar Fridays in his garden, and doting on his Golden Retrievers. His life was a balance of professional excellence and personal joy.

In his memory, the family encourages donations to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International or The Saban Clinic to continue the charitable spirit he embodied throughout his life.
