He really does deserves a second chance. You can tell he's a nice natured man. I only came across the video yesterday of the guy giving him a dollar. Very touching.

[@dansibayo4214]

I can't believe hearing his voice. He sounds like a professional announcer.

[@javo_roma]

He was and he still is.

[@dansibayo4214]

He is truly gifted.

[@nathanhosea489]

Dan Sibayo yeah man

[@dansibayo4214]

I hope Ted is doing fine.

[@ragebash13]

He went to school for it, THEN he started drinking and doing drugs. That means HE WORKED FOR IT, and yes talent but he STUDIED IT.

[@brendabrooks2250]

Look at his smile he looks so happy!

[@d33ps0unD]

that's good man! I hope every guy like you has a chance like you do. Good Luck and be healthy from now on

[@kanakaken]

[@stewart2238]

[@anthemlog]

[@John-GUNDAM]

Only god gave him this legendary voice...

[@tehf00n]

[@FatherDinny]

I'm so happy for him

[@MOTACJ]

One man -- One Desire ...

[@leoalexandre6437]

[@solomonking5097]

[@ChrisPMT]

No one.

[@ourcy5699]

He sounds like Morgan Freeman to me, Me

[@AB-kn3if]

They do look a little similar lol

[@kurtcobain3727]

Idk who "Barak obamaba"

[@GameClipzz.]

Should’ve actually gave him a job there instead of getting tv views off his hard life

[@Calida2308]

Hope He stays clean nowdays

[@Sherlo4]

Defenatly!!! I agree with you completly!

[@Sherlo4]

Paloma San Basilio it was fucking 7 years ago i was 13

[@Neo2906]

[@soccerloverxox]

Aww he's soo happy :)

[@chumicox]

My God!!!! this guy is a genius

[@abcd230100]

Awesome.

[@StillLateToTheParty]

He's on our couch this morning... and we have to spray it when he gets off...

[@JR7827]

Really Meredith, "Besides the getting the order of the names wrong" Really? SMH Shoutout to Matt for clearing up the fact it wasn't his fault!

[@iamthereaImaster]

Good question.

[@meixizou86]

I wish he will have voice over contracts for any upcoming pixar movies.

[@nielsboex]

At least this guy is doing something to get his life back on track .

[@NightBreakerDK]

That voice :D I all most like NBC now :D

[@7apoksha]

god is big .. thx god for all wht he gave us..from Graces

[@emybal2759]

Awesome

[@iAMScootaG]

I don't understand why everyone is so sympathetic with this guy .. He was an ex drug user and alcoholic but just because he has a good voice everyone takes pity on him.

[@marcoscarneiro6058]

Esse é o cara da voz, O dono da voz

[@dirtyflex100]

that voice

[@asep1378]

I hope Ted still get that low profile and humble personality. Good luck Ted....

[@ON-LINE_GAMES]

nice, the voice is good ,

[@thomasbeaver4896]

The guys amazing

[@mainehaydz.official4762]

Everyone deserved another chance....

[@BALROGization]

his mom said he destroyed his family for drugs, but look at him now he got blessed because of drugs,... Winning

[@kmrking]

I want this guy to narrate my life

[@00InTense00]

81 people are still homless

[@saschabudko]

Beautiful man.. beautiful story.. I believe such happy ending simply couldn't be possible somewhere else. He looks a bit Obamy.. don't you think so? :)

[@Baron118118]

He has one of those faces that make you want to give him money!

[@ladymela]

The Land where everything is possibel! :-))

[@ComradeDt]

theyre definitely throwing out that mug after this

[@Amiskone]

Protip: Start from the right side, and work down. It's read the other way around.

[@MissiGNO000]

a man able to redeem himseolf, I'm so happy for him :D

[@TheBoringProphet]

:54 "He has a god given gift... and he's on our couch now" ...he slept there last night.

[@isaacpearlsti]

wellll, he's happy now

[@Marijuanaboy000]

Not all gets 2nd chances.. I hope he doesn't waste this.

[@grabber5.033]

looks like obama long lost brother

[@gamingwithjanmix746]

yeah ikr

[@vladcoae3776]

thats racist....

[@OfficialEndo]

boi

[@alexandrawilliams3725]

Vlad Vladut No it's not. They look similar. Not because they're both black, their faces have lots of similarities. Grow up, stop being so sensitive.

[@8kayz.]

Vlad Vladut are you dumb...

[@samanthito7874]

God bless you Ted..

[@Remeez1000]

+Dennisse Batista I rather watch this video every time john cena comes out and tries to wrestle and Entertain

[@samanthito7874]

Lol True that

[@praveensharma9893]

Dennisse Batista you look good

[@cynthiabenitezcaceres2220]

Hes surely blessed by God

[@BRBallin1]

He needs a full time job for being a sports arena announcer

[@Muggy223]

Yeah, that voice would be awesome as a sports play-by-play comentater.

[@BRBallin1]

Not play by play. I mean the guy who announces the player names/teams etc before the game especially in the NBA.

[@Muggy223]

Oh ok, I get ya. I could see that too. That be pretty cool too.

[@ehak]

BRBallin1 YES

[@rogerwilco94539]

It gives me the chills to hear him, I am so glad that he was discovered.

[@AliChowdary]

are you still alive

[@sampreetsandhu7166]

I was 3 when u commented this, I hope everything's going well 4 u

[@5325puni]

God is with u Ted..

[@3275Dan]

shame he aint with the hundreds of thousands of starving African children, then again he works in mysterious ways, like helping some famous actor win an oscar while letting countless children die :)

[@DustinBoden]

3275Dan Natural selection (Y)

[@DustinBoden]

***** African was used to describe a group of people in a location. Not of a certain skin colour. So no, it isn't racist. good try though...

[@5325puni]

U also right my dear friend

[@poop634]

"That wasn't his fault that's the way it was on the script." 0:39 Good man

[@jeffmx211]

long story short; he cleaned his act up, got a job and later became Obama...

[@jeffmx211]

He looks like Obama you imbecile, and what does sniffing glue "have to do with this?"

[@lauraelomaa5432]

loolllll nice one

[@lauraelomaa5432]

***** you need to put your humour ears on mr mouse

[@michaelgoetz7372]

***** He could be huffing paint...

[@8SeventeenForever]

I literally laughed out loud 😂😂

[@sudhara4073]

Talk about fucking destiny..

[@lefishe7326]

Sudhara Wickramasinghe my hunter is level 40

[@failboigames5048]

Mustikka Piirakka nice one ;)

[@Catthatisblue]

He went to school to get that voice it isn't destiny

[@hemant111]

@@Catthatisblue I think he meant "Luckily there was one passerby who noticed him, recorded the video of this man with a great voice (for which he did work hard), went viral, and got a great opportunity". Destiny doesn't always mean supernatural, or godly.

[@yvonnef851]

I am glad for you Ted. Whish you all the best. May the force be with you.

[@Marymikemordi]

Thank You Jesus for the second chance granted upon Ted's life

[@samidzdz]

Zek Inije Jesus is a prophet and a servant of god

[@Horny_Fruit_Flies]

+Zek Injie Sure, go ahead and give all the credit to Jeebus instead of the man himself and the people who supported him.

[@kvi8249]

Zek Inije how about thank you to the man who made him famous. That nigga wasn’t Jesus and that god shit fake

[@mostrum195]

Zek Inije THANKYOU Jesus for all the people THAT DIDN'T get a second chance at life

[@Horny_Fruit_Flies]

@Paloma San Basilio what the hell are small hats?

[@QuickQuackReviews]

"A little delusional." Militant atheist much? 😝

[@malcolmmitchell7207]

Even though this theme isn’t present anymore, I still have faith that this theme song WILL RETURN to the TODAY Show. You won’t know when, you won’t know where, but TRUST ME, I BET IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. Never lose faith. ✊✊✊✊🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Jerseysson27]

Prayers are with him, he will triumph and he will win in life!

[@BeyondIntriguing]

I just wanted to let everybody know (I know you might not care at all) that today I passed my final accounting exam (insanely difficult one). So today I just feel like Ted did when this video was shot :). I hope you guys are just as happy as Ted and myself :) Peace!

[@coconut-nn2rj]

congrats bro

[@DaRealBlueSkiesYT]

[@ocayaro]

WoW, such a wonderful story. It's things like this that make America great. They truly recognize talent.

[@TheLorola]

I like how the news anchor's tie is smiling

[@ridhwaankhan7916]

James Chancé : D

[@DaddyOwhsome]

crap i love that voice... i love it man keep it up

[@goldewl]

He is such a wonderful man. I am so happy for him.

[@patrickdwyer90]

Well done Ted, you are a worldwide inspiration to anyone who is feeling a little down today. May you continue to shed light on the lives of many. Australia

[@Tigerman1138]

This guy is SO GOOD---when he actually started introducing the show I didn't realize it was him. I thought it was "the normal guy" who would always do intros (some hired current announcer from NBC) and then I realized it was HIM! He is AMAZING!

[@jrusso7660]

So, people with normal voices don't deserve second chances.

[@auzkiee]

Are you serious right now?

[@jrusso7660]

Yes dipshit... I am. Can you justify why this guy deserves a chance at a second chance simply because he has a natural voice talent, and none of the other bums who've left their families for drugs and alcohol deserve the same chance simply because they don't have the same natural ability? I have no compassion for this asshole. He needed other people's help to get out of the hole he dug for himself and he destroyed the lives of his family. Especially the lives of his innocent children. He was homeless for a reason. Why don't the everyday people who never leave their kids/families and slave away at their jobs to provide a future for their children get any notoriety or financial assistance? They're the ones who deserve it the most. They're the ones who didn't give in to their temptations in lieu of doing the right thing.

[@jrusso7660]

Man, this is one backwards ass country we've changed into.

[@CandyFlippingFTW]

Jr Rj I think he's serious

[@jrusso7660]

Opotiki Whakatohea So, by your logic, he got the chance because of his voice alone? Then why did he only become famous after the video was posted on KZbin? I had watched the original video and I also went beyond that. I researched this guy's story. He was no better than all of the other failed businessmen who are homeless because they left their children for drugs and alcohol. They deserve just as much of a second chance as this guy. The only difference is his voice. THAT'S IT!!! He's a child abandoning asshole just like everyone else. So, it appears to me that you're the one with the flawed sense of judgment.

[@XF59]

belle voix 🎶✌ je suis heureuse pour toi Ted 😁👏👏

[@Deluminate]

what a really nice man, he seriously seems a genuine guy, he deserves this more than anyone

[@gotoloco2719]

his voice can change his own life from homeless to wealth

[@عليالجابري-ت5خ]

Really , Really , Golden vioce

[@axelleamani9025]

I want to hug him awww

Yes America is great. One day u r creating low pressure area around a man's member for $10. The next day you are on the Today Show talking about it how u got to that point.

[@orawal]

So happy for him! I saw that earlier video and now that dream has actually come true!! Woohoo!!! The internet aint all that bad after all! :P

[@TheLeonheart69]

No matter what u go through...u finally find god's grace.

[@thatonegoblin8722]

God doesn't exist.

[@penguinfriend]

God given gift at 0:52 ? It is the result of cumulative and gradual natural selection. Not fantasy friend given gift

[@aaronkennedy6486]

*tips fedora*

[@woens3378]

Jesus loves you

[@penguinfriend]

@Paloma San Basilio Penguin can not speak for others, Penguin speak for Penguin. And you try to speak for others? Penguin friend letting others speak for themselves

[@penguinfriend]

@Paloma San Basilio So your fallacy is that you think a opinion needs to be wrong just because its not the same as yours. Such is determined by evidence, not opinion.
