Tom Magliozzi, Co-Host of NPR's "Car Talk," Dies at 77 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
Tom Magliozzi, co-host of the NPR show "Car Talk" and one of public
radio's most familiar and beloved voices, has died after a battle with
Alzheimer's disease. He was 77. Tom and his brother Ray were known as
"Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers" on the weekly show they co-hosted
for 35 years. They stopped making new episodes in 2012. While "Car Talk"
was ostensibly about car advice, Tom Magliozzi was perhaps better known
for his laugh.

Tom Magliozzi: "Do two people who don't know what they're talking about
know more or less than one person who doesn't know what he's talking
about?" (laughter)

Tom Magliozzi died on Monday in his home state of Massachusetts.
