MSNBC announced Thursday that Ted Williams, the homeless man whose golden pipes have made him a national sensation, is recording voiceovers for the network's "Lean Forward" campaign. The spots will begin airing on Thursday night.

In addition, Williams will appear on "The Last Word" at 10 on Thursday night to discuss the campaign. In a statement, MSNBC said that Williams' story "embodies the very same American ideals that the Lean Forward campaign seeks to highlight."

Kudos to MSNBC

I had tears in my eyes as I saw him being interviewed on The Today Show. You could see he was trying so hard to stay composed but he was almost giddy (and why wouldn't he be?)

I have to agree with Matt Lauer though - I worry that this will be too much, too fast, for him and that Mr. Williams may find himself going in a bad direction. I truly, truly hope that doesn't happen.
