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.[citation needed]
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]
