Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D on the Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the Class B Common stock (the “Class B Common Stock,” together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock) of Teton Advisors, Inc., (“Teton”) is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”) which was originally filed on February 19, 2009. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli (“Mario Gabelli”) and various entities which he

directly or indirectly controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer or general partner. Certain of these entities may make investments for their own accounts.

The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than 5% of a class of a particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.

(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by GGCP, Inc. (“GGCP”), MJG-IV, Limited Partnership (“MJG-IV”) and Mario Gabelli, hereafter referred to as the “Reporting Persons.”

GGCP makes investments for its own account and is the controlling shareholder of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (“GBL”). GBL, a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, is the parent company for a variety of companies engaged in the securities business..

MJG-IV is a limited partnership, of certain of Mario Gabelli’s family members. Mario Gabelli is the general partnership of MJG-IV,

Mario Gabelli is the majority stockholder, Chief Executive Officer and a director of GGCP and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GBL.

The Reporting Persons do not admit that they constitute a group.

GGCP is a New York corporation having its principal business office at 140 Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830. MJG-IV is a limited partnership formed under the laws of Delaware having its principal business office at One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580.

For information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to the executive officers and directors of the foregoing entities and other related persons (collectively, “Covered Persons”), reference is made to Schedule I annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(e) - On April 24, 2008, Gabelli Funds, LLC (“Gabelli Funds”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GBL, settled an administrative proceeding with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) regarding frequent trading in shares of a mutual fund it advises, without admitting or denying the findings or allegations of the Commission. The inquiry involved Gabelli Funds’ treatment of one investor who had engaged in frequent trading in one fund (the prospectus of which did not at that time impose limits on frequent trading), and who had subsequently made an investment in a hedge fund managed by an affiliate of Gabelli Funds. The investor was banned from the fund in August 2002, only after certain other investors were banned. The principal terms of the settlement between the Commission and Gabelli Funds include an administrative cease and desist order from violating Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Section 17(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Company Act”), and Rule 17d-1 thereunder, and Section 12(d)(1)(B)(1) of the Company Act, and the payment of $11 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and $5 million in a civil monetary penalty. Gabelli Funds was also required to retain an independent distribution consultant to develop a plan and oversee distribution to shareholders of the monies paid to the Commission, and to make certain other undertakings.

In September 2008, Gabelli Funds reached agreement in principle with the staff of the Commission, subject to Commission approval, on a previously disclosed matter that had been ongoing for several years involving compliance with Section 19(a) of the Company Act and Rule 19a-1 thereunder by two closed-end funds. The agreement was finalized with the Commission on January 12, 2009. The provisions of Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1 require registered investment companies, when making a distribution in the nature of a dividend from sources other than net investment income, to contemporaneously provide written statements to shareholders that adequately disclose the source or sources of such distribution. While the two funds sent annual statements and provided other materials containing this information, the shareholders did not receive the notices required by Rule 19a-1 with any of the distributions that were made for 2002 and 2003. Gabelli Funds believes that the funds have been in compliance with Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1 since the beginning of 2004. As part of the settlement, in which Gabelli Funds neither admits nor denies the findings by the Commission, Gabelli Funds agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $450,000 and to cease and desist from causing violations of Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1. In connection with the settlement, the Commission noted the remedial actions previously undertaken by Gabelli Funds.

(f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons intend to nominate additional directors over time to serve as members of the Board of Directors of Teton in order to assist Teton in obtaining its long-term goals. Along those lines, the Reporting Persons have nominated Howard F. Ward to serve as a member of Teton’s Board of Directors.

Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer

Item 5 is hereby supplemented, as follows:

(a), (b) On May 4, 2009 the Reporting Persons then beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock as follows:

Name	Shares of Class A Common Stock		% of Ownership of Class A Common Stock	Shares of Class B Common Stock	% of Ownership of Class B Common Stock	Total Number of Shares of Class A Common Stock if such Reporting Person’s Class B Shares were Converted	% of Ownership of Class A Common Stock if such Reporting Person’s Class B Shares were Converted
GGCP	-	-		299,026	71.74%	299,026	25.20%

Mario Gabelli	-	-		3,643	0.87%	3,643	0.41%
MJG-IV	300,352	33.84%		-	-	300,352	33.84%

Mario Gabelli is the controlling shareholder of Teton through his control of GGCP, and MJG-IV.

Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons.

Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its shareholders or its partners, as the case may be.

(c) Except as set forth in Items 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D, within the last 60 days, no other transaction in shares of Common Stock was effected by any Reporting Person.

Signature

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
