An Internet video of a homeless man showing off his self-described “God-given gift of a great voice” has landed him a spot on a local radio show, a dream job with the Cleveland Cavaliers and a house.

“The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!” Ted Williams said while appearing on a morning radio show in Columbus, Ohio, called “ Dave and Jimmy.”

Williams was offered the job and free home by a caller to the show who said she represented the Cavaliers, the New York Post reported.

Williams had hoped to fly to New York on Wednesday for a reunion with his 92-year-old mother, who lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and an appearance on the "TODAY Show," but when he went to the airport, officials would not let him board because he doesn't have proper ID, the website TMZ reported. He went to the courthouse in Columbus to try to get a copy of his birth certificate, TMZ said.

A reporter from the Columbus Dispatch came across Williams while he was panhandling near Interstate 71 recently. A sign he carried explained that he was a former radio announcer who had fallen on hard times.
