Jennifer Landon joined Yellowstone in Season Three as Teeter and has become a fan-favorite character on the show.

Teeter was a recurring character during Seasons Three and Four and was promoted to a series regular for Season Five. Teeter is a tobacco-chewing female ranch hand who sparks a relationship with Colby following a traumatic encounter with a rival ranch owner.

She became a vital – and forever – member of the Yellowstone Ranch after being branded with the iconic Y logo.

Despite being on three seasons of the show’s five seasons, Landon has been working on the show since 2020, seeing as Season Three debuted on June 21, 2020.

During her time shooting Yellowstone in Montana, Landon often shared some behind-the-scenes photos and videos, showcasing the beauty of where she was living.

Teeter has a lot of hilarious and badass moments on Yellowstone, but the fans truly loved when she got vulnerable in a Season Four episode, where she emotionally begged for her job back from Kevin Costner’s John Dutton and Cole Houser’s Rip Wheeler. She gave Rip a hug, thanking him for her job, and it became one of the most emotional moments in the entire series.
