Tom Magliozzi, one-half of the dynamic, wise-cracking duo that hosted NPR’s Car Talk for nearly 40 years, died Monday morning from complications of Alzheimer’s disease, according to NPR and a statement posted on the show’s website. He was 77 years old.
Magliozzi, along with his brother, Ray Magliozzi, became famous as “Click and Clack,” doling out car advice along with their signature cackles on one of public radio’s most beloved programs.
With their distinctive Boston accents, the brothers’ speech is familiar to anyone who has ever heard the show.
The duo stopped recording live shows in 2012, after 25 years on NPR.
