Cool story about a homeless man....

My wife said he was on Good Morning America yesterday. They cut his hair, cleaned him up, and he is now working for a radio station. That video was apparently taken 6-months ago'ish. He is doing fine now....

He was flying out to see his mother for the first time in 10-years.

Great story.

He was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. He announced all of their guests and then had a little interview at the end. Said he is now the official announcer/commercial voice for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and his first commercial will air Sunday during the Nevada/B.C. bowl game. Great story, I wish him well. He sounds very grateful for this second chance in life.

Agreed and well said...

At least when i watched it he was going to a voice over with Kraft, but he also said he was offered a position with several other agancies and was on the fence as to what to do...

I watched his whole interview on the Today show this, morning (1/6/11) and you could tell he was a little overwhelmed with everything going on....I agree with second chances and i wish this man the very best...He's got guts for announcing to the world his past addictions, but he has found a greater power to support him as well..

i think the guy sounds as natural as it can get for any type of media, and i wish him the best...

Finally got around to watching that vid. I saw that youtube isn't sponsoring it anymore, so I edited your original link Kyle, hope you don't mind.

I guess this guy was found in the Columbus area? He was the subject of a local radio show I listen to. I was amazed at how many people called in and denegrated the guy. :confused:

How could you not like his story? I guess some folks feel threatened by someone else's success? I guess they hope the guy stays homeless leaching off society instead of being a productive member of society.

He will have a lot of temptation in front of him now. New found money windfall it would appear, hopefully doesn't revert to the ways that got him panhandling.

The only negative I can find in this guy is you can tell he is burnt up from prior drug use and he remind me of a grungy Obama....but thats only appearance. I too hope he uses this AWESOME oppurtunity and makes his life right. He has a big family to be with and should use this chance to reconnect full time.
