Tom Magliozzi, one half of the wisecracking Car Talk duo known as "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers," has died after complications from Alzheimer's Disease. He was 77.

Car Talk Executive Producer Doug Berman sent this note Monday:

"I have the sad duty to report today that Tom Magliozzi, one of the hosts of Car Talk, passed away this morning due to complications of Alzheimer's Disease.

OK, this one is really a punch below the belt. Very sad about this.

I was on their show once for about 5 minutes some 27 years ago. They solved my problem and they made me laugh. I told them I was studying for the ministry and Tom asked if I had tried laying hands on the car and asking for a miracle.

I really enjoyed listening to him and his brother. Funny guys that always made me laugh. R.I.P. Tom Magliozzi.

Saw that last night. They made me laugh with their NPR show and newspaper columns. RIP Tom.

I wondered why there were so many re-runs this year. I thought it was because of the usual summer NPR hiatus. Nope. It was this.

Saw that last night. They made me laugh with their NPR show and newspaper columns. RIP Tom.

Same here. I've listened to their show for 20 years. Learned alot from them that helped me fix that 61 TBird back then and has done the same with every car I've owned since.

This is a true loss. I feel worst for little brother, Ray.
