Janice on Friends? Not Fran Drescher, was it?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

My whole family is convinced that Fran Drescher played Janice on Friends. I know that can’t possibly be right, they don’t even look alike. So who was it?

It’s frightening how many crazies think that world is going to end in a few days. All of us smart people know that it’s not ending until next year.

That would be Maggie Wheeler.

How could anyone mistake anyone for Fran Drescher?

Fran’s voice is just a tinge more annoying.

I knew it! Now, the question is, should I tell my family and be ridiculed for being right? Or just keep it to myself and laugh at them all night?

Well, you could print off this page

and simply leave it out for them to find.

If you really want to freak out your family, Cess, there’s a rumor that Fran did hardcore before she made the big time. I’ve seen pictures of the alledged performance, and the resemblance is remarkable. No, it’s not her head cut-n-pasted on Linda Lovelace, either.

Just for some more useless information (I’m full of it, ya know) but the girl who played Janice also was in the first season of Ellen. She was one of Ellen’s friends.

Wasn’t Ellen’s show originally called These Friends of Mine or something like that?

MPSIMS: Elaine also tried to fix her up with George in an old Seinfeld episode. I was shocked to discover that she doesn’t really talk like Janice.

Gilligan–yes. This was the first season, when the show was just a clone of “Seinfeld.”
