Teresa Ganzel (born March 23, 1957 in Toledo, Ohio) is an American actress and comedian.[3]

Career

Ganzel was a recurring cast member in skits on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, where her roles included the Tea Time Lady in the "Tea Time Movie" sketches.[4]

In 1984, Ganzel played Sheree Winkler, in the short-lived sitcom The Duck Factory.

In 2010, Ganzel played a principal role in the off-Broadway production of Viagara Falls (2010) after appearing in the same role, Jacqueline Tempest, in productions of the play staged in other cities.[5][6]

Reputation

TV writer Mark Evanier said:

"[Ganzel] took the Matinee Lady from being someone to be ogled and laughed-at because her I.Q. was lower than her bra-size to being a skilled comic actress playing that kind of character...This all may wind up to a tiny milestone in the evolution of women on TV but I think it's quite real and that Teresa deserves some real credit."[7]

Personal life

Ganzel had dated her Tom and Jerry Kids and Droopy, Master Detective co-star Frank Welker.[8]
