Tom Magliozzi, the iconic host of "Car Talk" for nearly 35 years, died Monday at the age of 77, after a battle with Alzheimer's disease, NPR announced.
Magliozzi and his brother, Ray, better known as "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers," were the Peabody Award-winning hosts of the long-running auto advice radio talk show. The famed duo became the comedic voices behind the show in 1977, with its inception as a local program on Boston's WBUR, and together led it to become NPR's top rated entertainment broadcast. In 2012, the pair announced that they were calling it quits after 25 years with the network.
