Summary

Teddy Hancox and Tildy Weatherspoon

Late Night Time Machine with Teddy Hancox is an entirely written and entirely improvised live comedy show created by Tess Hermes, James C. Leary, and Mason Pitluk. The show features Teddy Hancox (James C. Leary), a talk-show host from 1968 (aka "the golden era of late-night"). Each show features new guest improvisors who arrive in character as historical figures or celebrities from past, present, and future. Sydney Huddleston co-stars as Matilda "Tildy" Weatherspoon, the show's intern/PA turned producer, and Mike Carreon as Teddy's sidekick, Bud Grouper.

The show includes on-air interviews, off-air interactions both on-set, in the green room, and behind the scenes, and commercial sketches typical of 1968.
