Ray Magliozzi

Raymond Francis Magliozzi and his brother Thomas Louis Magliozzi were the co-hosts of NPR's weekly radio show, Car Talk, where they were known as "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers". Their show was honored with a Peabody Award in 1992.

Ray Magliozzi was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts; he graduated from MIT. Ray taught science in Bennington, Vermont for a few years before returning to Cambridge in 1973. He and Tom were invited in 1977 to be part of a panel of automotive experts on Boston's National Public Radio affiliate WBUR-FM. Subsequently, the brothers converted the shop into a standard auto-repair shop named Good News Garage. In January 1987, host Susan Stamberg of Weekend Edition on NPR asked the two to contribute weekly to her program. Nine months later, Car Talk premiered as an independent NPR program. In 1992, Tom and Ray won a Peabody Award for Car Talk—for "distinguished achievement and meritorious public service". Tom and Ray continued to work in their garage while they produced Car Talk.

Tom and Ray both appeared in the Pixar film Cars (2006). They played the owners of Rust-eze, who discovered Lightning McQueen and gave him his first big break. In the film, they each admonished: "Don't drive like my brother", the catchphrase from the close of their radio show. The Magliozzi brothers also appeared in a seventh season episode of the PBS Kids show Arthur, called "Pick a Car, Any Car", which originally aired on November 25, 2002. In 2008, the brothers starred in their own PBS animated series, "Click and Clack's: As the Wrench Turns," playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Also in 2008, the brothers hosted an episode of PBS show NOVA entitled The Car of the Future.

On November 3, 2014, his brother Tom died in Belmont, Massachusetts, due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. He was 77.
