Ted Williams, a man who who was homeless for 2 decades, get a gig as an announcer on,
"Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
Ted Williams is a 53 year old man who was homeless in the Cleveland area for two decades. He had problems with drug and alcohol addiction which led to him being homeless. He was panhandling one day when a man drove by with his wife, and received a dollar from the couple. After they gave the money, Ted had held up a sign indicating that he has a good voice and could sing a jingle to show appreciation for the money. The man who gave the dollar asked him to sing and he could not believe how good Ted was. The man came back with a video camera to tell a story about Ted, and the rest is history. Ted has been on just about every major TV show;
"Late Night," "Today," "Leno", to name a few. Tedd appears to be a very bright man with a positive attitude. He also has a very good sense of humor. Jimmy Fallon had him as a guest and announcer on his show that aired January 6th. Mr Williams announced the introduction of, Jim Carrey and Dr Oz who were the guests on Fallon's show. He also got a job as the announcer for the Cleveland Cavaliers, a commercial for Kraft and some other gigs doing voice-overs.. This is such an incredible story. What a great way to start the New Year! As for Mr Williams being on the Today show; Ted told Fallon, 'I am excited because Matt Lauer because he brings the female out of me.'
