Wheeler confessed Janice’s laugh was a defense mechanism for her. Believe it or not, it was completely organic too. “I created Janice’s laugh as a safety measure just in case [Matthew Perry] made me laugh,” she said. That laugh and the character she created became an integral part of Friends. Now that it has been 18 years since the final episode aired, many people want to know what their favorite cast members are up to.
While her role as Janice is what she is most known for, Wheeler has popped up on other television shows over the years. You may have seen her in episodes of Californication, ER, Hot in Cleveland, How I Met Your Mother, and Will & Grace. She has also had some voice acting roles over the years, including a recurring role on Archer and she voiced Dr. Renton on Kim Possible.
Over the years, Wheeler has also been featured in a number of television interviews. She appeared on This Morning in 2016 for an interview and gave an interview again in 2021 on the Australian show Sunrise.
Unlike many stars on the show, Maggie has been able to keep her private life under wraps. She and her husband have been together for 30 years and have two children together. Now, at 60 years old, fans of Friends are shocked to see what Janice looks like.
