Ted Williams, born Theodore Fred Williams (born September 22, 1957) is an American announcer, radio personality, and voice-over artist. He is also known as The Man with the Golden Voice.

Williams, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, rose to prominence in the early 1980s as a late-night radio disc jockey on WVKO in Columbus, Ohio. Williams was fired from radio after more than a decade for drunkenness and drug misuse in 1994, and he quickly found himself homeless.

Ted Williams appeared on The Tamron Hall Show in January 2021, around ten years after his viral video. This interview revealed a few heartbreaking facts, including the fact that Williams is now again homeless.

“I haven’t had a place to call my own since 2014,” he disclosed. The Man with the Golden Voice also listed a few reasons as to his homelessness. “You know the fair housing laws haven’t really been fair to people who have gotten out of prison,” he reasoned.

“It’s been a long time — I haven’t been to jail or had any reasons to go to jail since then.” Williams also blamed the COVID-19 pandemic, saying “the COVID situation” has “postponed, not canceled, a lot of things,” and he hadn’t “made very much of anything as of last year.”

Williams is not on the streets despite the fact that he does not have a home. He is currently living with his “dear friend Mark Henderson” and is “still hoping things will turn around.” Williams also told Hall that he is still sober and hasn’t relapsed since 2011.
