*Ted Williams, now famous as the “golden-voiced homeless man,” has been tapped by MSNBC to voice upcoming commercials for its Lean Forward campaign.
The spots will begin airing tonight, when Williams will also appear as a guest on the news channel’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The one-time radio announcer has been fielding interview requests and job offers — including one from the Cleveland Cavaliers — all one week after a video, shot by a local news station, of a desperate Williams pleading for help near a Cleveland highway, went viral.
