I second that.

Maybe we should all forward this video to our local radio stations. This man deserves a job.

Cool story, hope something works out for the guy he seemed nice.

Update: Well it looks like Mr. Golden Voice (Ted Williams) was offered a job with the Cleveland Cavaliers as a radio voice for the team. What a great story! I wish him well.

No kidding! He was also offered a house. Also, NBC's Today show is scheduling him on their show tomorrow:

Thanks for the update.

That is awesome. This is the way the world should work.

Really cool story. When I think of "radio voices" that is EXACTLY how I hear them in my head.

I just saw this today on Yahoo! He is very talented and deserves it. I'm happy for him and everything seems to be working out for him. I heard he's also going to see his mother in Brooklyn so that's good.

With what seems like a sea of bad news storys, after bad news storys what a refreshing post. Good to see some luck hit someone who needed it, wish him nothing but the best.

He has such a great voice. Today's the first time I heard him. What a great story that the Cavs signed him.

It looks like Ted has been signed to do a Super Bowl spot:

Ted Williams, the homeless man who became a YouTube hit with his "golden" made-for-radio voice, continues to be bombarded with golden offers as he skyrockets to fame, The New York Post reported Sunday.

A source close to Williams said he has been deluged with freebies, bookings and voiceover gigs, including a proposal for him to make a five-second appearance in a Super Bowl commercial.

Dozens of dentists have offered new teeth, and psychiatrists are offering counseling. AirTran Airways wants to fly him around for free, and a lawyer at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey offered pro-bono legal advice. NFL Films proposed voiceover work, and producers for the BBC, "Opie and Anthony" and "The Colbert Report" are begging to book him.

Doral Chenoweth, the web producer for The Columbus Dispatch who found Williams on the side of the road in Ohio, told Entertainment Weekly, "It's probably easier getting through to Obama [now] than Ted."

Chenoweth saw Williams, who was born in Brooklyn, panhandling beside an Ohio highway with a sign saying he had the God-given gift of a radio voice, so the producer stopped by with a video camera.

Aparently, this guy is still addicted to drugs...Dr Phil brought his family in to meet with him and after the show, his daughter and him got into a fight. Both were arrested but not charged.

He needs rehab, not houses and jobs...
