Ted Williams' meteoric rise to fame came with an equally rapid downfall, but it seem that things are looking up for the formerly homeless man with the golden voice.
TMZ reports that Williams has just inked a deal for a reality show, which will begin shooting in two weeks.
According to Williams' rep, the show, titled 'Second Chances at Life,' will follow Williams' journey from homeless man to national sensation, and perhaps even the radio announcer's recent, brief stint in rehab for substance abuse.
Ted Williams, the Homeless Man With the Golden Voice, Gets Reality Show
By Sarah Crow Posted Feb 22nd 2011 02:35PM
The show will be shot in Williams' hometown of Brooklyn; in Ohio, where he spent many years living on the streets; and in Los Angeles, where he's been cooling his heels since leaving rehab.
Williams, a voice-over artist who has used his "God given gift" to promote Kraft products and the Cleveland Cavaliers, will dedicate the second season of his reality show to helping others who need a second chance.

Anybody that thinks this is a great story needs to think again.
There is a reason that he was on the street and he will be right back there again. Once a lose, ALWAYS a loser

I bet you came up with that witty line while standing in front of a mirror!!!
WOW your life must really be bad for you to get your kicks making fun of people like ted, poor you!!!
Wow, I cant believe how much jealousy there is out there...All you haters wait until it's your turn to fall on you a**. I guarantee you'll feel different then. Who the hell do you think you all are, as if all of you never made ANY stupid decisions, EVER in your life, that affected you in a negative way....Instead of hating, why dont you all put that energy into doing something good for someone...You might surprise yourselves and feel GOOD about it......Lou
You sound out of order. Hysterical !!!
THAT is a heartless attitude. Someday instant karma will get YOU!!!
Nothing like a little negativity to keeps things going, I'm sure that is how YOU live your life, I hope he is very prosperous and does well.
Oh please.............there has got to be more to life than this clown

Now that's a step in the right direction for staying sober, those reality TV ppl are always so healthy and normal. Wait...
If he REALLY wanted to stay sober and turn his life around, this is NOT the way!!

This has too many wrong levels to count. If the media circus wanted to pick someone to help, they should have found someone who worked hard all his life(or her), stuck by his family (divorced or not), and through no fault of his own found himself without a job. What a crock.
