Elwood Edwards may not be a household name, but his voice is cemented in pop culture thanks to his famous greeting. The 67-year-old is now driving for Uber and says he does not get residuals from the words.

The guy behind that famous greeting from the early days of the internet told Inside Edition: "Everywhere I go people ask me, ‘do you get residuals? Did you make a lot of money from it?’

"And the question is always answered with no."

Edwards was paid just $200 for that famous recording. His wife was working for AOL at the time and he did it as a favor.
