Follow-up: homeless golden radio voice guy Ted Williams gets a break
Wednesday, January 5, 2011
As one would expect, things are looking a lot better right now for Ted Williams, the homeless dude from Columbs, OH, after he received almost all the Internet's attention when the famous video of him displaying his God-given talent went viral.
From The New York Post:
"The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!," repeated a stunned Williams, 71, on local radio station WNCI.Video - CBS
A caller to the show who said she represented the Cavs offered Williams, who shot to stardom after local newspaper the Columbus Dispatch on Monday posted video of his perfectly-pitched panhandling, a full-time job doing voiceover work for the team and parent company and a free home in Cleveland.
Local police would refer to Williams as "Radio man," when chasing him from his usual begging spots, where he earned around $30 an hour, Williams said.
"I've been out there about a year; I just didn't know anything like this would ever happen," an overwhelmed Williams said earlier in the show. "There's so many words. I've already been compared to [Scottish singing sensation] Susan Boyle ... I'm just so happy."
Before the Cavs made their bid, the station said a group of credit unions offered Williams a contract worth up to $10,000; a caller claiming to rep MTV expressed interest in having him guest-announce a show; and callers who said they were the voiceover actors behind plugs for "The Simpsons" and "Entertainment Tonight" said they wanted him to compete on their upcoming "America's Next Voice" -- where the prize includes a home studio.

Wow- I give him credit for trying to stand on his own two feet again. I wish him the best of luck- and yeah, that voice is great!!
very touching! I wish him the best of luck as well!!
30 bucks an hour? That's really good money. Compared to the $10,000 contract it makes the contract seem like child's play. Please be a typo...
He says himself in the interview that he sometimes made $25 an hour, sometimes $5
