Ted Williams' Cardboard Sign

Origin
Ted Williams is a radio host and voice-over artist who caught the public’s attention in January 2011. He was videoed advertising his voice on a cardboard sign, where he made up a radio station promo on the spot. The public quickly followed his story, and the recording of his voice soon went viral. He was hired by several organizations to do voice-overs for them, including the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kraft Foods. Previously, he had abused drugs and alcohol during his time homeless and had relapsed under the media’s attention. TV host and psychologist Dr. Phil helped ease him into rehabilitation programs, which Williams entered in and out of over the years. He has since been sober and committed to helping out the homeless.
