My Take
Maggie Wheeler achieved something almost impossible: she created a character so indelible in Janice, that voice and that laugh, that it could have swallowed her whole, and it did not. I admire how she treated Friends as one room in a much larger house, branching into voice acting, singing, songwriting, choir directing and workshops. That tells me she sees herself as a working artist rather than a celebrity, which is exactly the temperament that survives in this business. Scene-stealing supporting players are the connective tissue of television history, and Wheeler is among the very best of them. Decades on, a few seconds of her still steal any scene.
