Don Buchwald & Associates is pleased to welcome Tony D. Burton to its New York team. Burton, who launched a successful career in television production in 1992, joined DBA as a Host and Broadcast agent.

Following assignments with “Saturday Night Live” and NBC Sports, Burton joined the production staff of “Dateline NBC”. He received an Emmy award in 2000 for his coverage of the Columbine High School shootings. Burton went on to serve as a producer on NBC’s “Today Show,” before leaving the network to produce several projects, including Dan Aykroyd’s “Out There” for the Sci-Fi network and “Inside the NFL” for HBO. Prior to joining DBA, Burton was the Senior Segment Producer for ESPN’s live national morning show “Cold Pizza.”

In addition to his extensive work as a producer, Burton is the author of These are a Few of My Favorite Things (Simon & Schuster, 1999), the proceeds of which benefited the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Says president Don Buchwald, “Tony brings a wealth of experience as a television producer and programming executive in the sports and talk show business and will be a tremendous asset to our agency.”
