Stern first reported the news on his Sirius Satellite Radio show Thursday.
The long-haired Kallenbach, whose goofball antics included attempting to blow smoke from his eyes, made dozens of appearances on Stern’s show beginning in 1990. Stern once likened him to MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head and wrote in his book “Private Parts” that he was the “ultimate airhead.”
More recently, Kallenbach, of Boothwyn, Pa., starred in commercials for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” and Stride chewing gum. He also appeared on Jay Leno’s “Tonight” show and had uncredited parts in HBO’s “Sex and the City” and the film “Jerry Maguire.”
