'Car Talk' honors late host Tom Magliozzi with memorial episode

NPR's popular radio show Car Talk honored deceased host Tom Magliozzi with a memorial show on Saturday, and fans took to Twitter to express their condolences.

"Hi, folks. I'm here on my own today because I have the sad news to report that my brother passed away this week at the age of 77, due to complications of Alzheimer's Disease," said remaining host Ray Magliozzi. The memorial episode looks back on some of Ray's favorite moments with Tom and highlights his unique humor.

"A philosophy degree will stand you in much better stead than the MBA, which will only turn you into a yuppie, suspender-wearing, BMW-driving moron," Tom said to a graduate student during one of the segments they re-broadcasted. In typical Tom fashion, he manages to steer the conversation away from talking about the person's car in favor of getting them to laugh at his jokes.
