He is a Senior Editor and Writer at The Daily Beast, overseeing a team of writers covering a diverse range of subjects.

Tim is also a feature writer and interviewer, and The Daily Beast’s theater critic.

Tim’s work has won multiple awards—and honors such as Journalist of the Year—from organizations including the New York Press Club and Los Angeles Press Club.

A former winner of ‘TV Critic of the Year’ and three-time winner of ‘Online Journalist of the Year’, the Los Angeles Press Club has said of Tim, “his cumulative online work, from incisive, extensive features on Broadway issues to impassioned commentary… deserves this recognition.”

Most recently, following 7 nominations, Tim was named ‘Online Journalist of the Year’ for the third time by the Los Angeles Press Club at the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards 2025, with the judges commenting, “Teeman provides excellent exposition and criticism of entertainment and politics ranging from Broadway shows to celebrities.”
