From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teresa Ganzel (born March 23, 1957, Toledo, Ohio) is an actress, comedienne, and cartoon voice-over actress.
Ganzel was best known as a recurring cast member of The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, having replaced the late Carol Wayne as the Matinee Lady in the popular "Mighty Carson Art Players" skits. She often plays ditzy blonde bimbo roles, as in the 1982 film The Toy with Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor.
