That's right! Back in August of 2009, I posted a Note here titled "Who Said That, And Why?" stating that I had just learned Michael Douglas was the announcer for NBC Nightly News.  I commented:

"what about all the other actors and voiceover people out there who have great voices but are desperate for work?  Michael Douglas took a potential job away from someone who needed it more, and probably deserved it more."

And now the truth has become reality.  In just a few days, the Ted Williams story has become such an amazing set of circumstances that every media outlet in the country can't wait to get their hands on him.  Now, this man that was homeless on Monday has more job offers than he can keep track of on Thursday.  And as if the story couldn't get any more perfect, today he met his 90 year old mother for the first time in twenty years!

 Here are just some of the job offers he's had:

• Cleveland Cavaliers arena announcer:  a salary and a house
• Ohio Credit Union League:  already gave him $10,000 cash with more to come
• ESPN
• MTV reality series
• Hilo, Hawaii will give him a vacation there for him to do voiceover work for them
• The Simpsons are interested in using his voice
• Entertainment Tonight has expressed interest

Also, with Robert Gibbs' announcement today that he will retire from his position as Press Secretary, the White House has expressed interest in offering this high-profile job to Ted Williams.  OK, I made that one up.  Incidentally, am I the only one who thinks Ted Williams slightly resembles President Obama?  Surely I'm not the only one!

 With all these interviews, talk shows, radio and TV gigs, and other appearances, he had better be careful not to get laryngitis!  Man, wouldn't that be the pits.  Somebody by him a pack of lozenges, please!  America's new national hero is just one head cold away from ruining our feel good story of the year.
