more:so u have kissed mathew perry.how was it like?
maggie:it was fabulous! he is a great kisser.i've lost count on how many times i've kissed him.

more:FRIENDS is shot in front of a live studio audience.have things ever gone wrong?
maggie.yes.take the episode where chandler wants to no who janice really loves.im hysterical n breathing into a paper bag.its a serious , tender moment and mathew was supposed to take the bag so i talk to him.but on the show night wid our adrenaline pumping he grabbed it n it poped really loud.you no whn something is jus soo funny? iwas lucky, but mathew had to use every muscle in his body not to crack up.if u watch it we're lookin at each other going,'don below this secene do not laugh.
(if u watch it again n focus ull notice tht thy r tryin real hard not 2 laugh)

more:sounds like a giggle, but we're not buying this ' we re really friends thing'. after 10 years surely some1 had a row.
(zara:i respectfully disagree.lol)

maggie:well, i've never seen any1 walk off in a strop.but jen n matthew did a practical joke spat for a whole week once.it started whn mathew dumped trash can over her dressing room floor on his way down the set.by the time he got back off-set his entire room was filled wod garbage.i think it ended wid him having her car moved.....

more:any cat fights between the girls?
maggie:no, jen n courteney are such gud friends. thy have lunch together everyday(not any more:02: ),every week.we all hang out together and us girls all gossip in 1 of the dressing rooms.

more: wht do u talk talk bout?
maggie:relationships mostly.we have talked bout everything ferm gynaecology to who does the launfry.oh and we talk bout how annoying guys are of course.

more:so tell us whts its like backstage....have things changed?
maggie.yes.whn it began(the show)we sat and played poker in ratty little green room wid broken chairs and smoked like fiends.tht was year 1.now 10 years, the dressing rooms are really fancy, and everytime some1 gets off stage thy we've got 47 phone messages n 17 faxes. tht level of fame ids out of the world.every1 wants a piece.

more:i bet it has its perks though.who's got the best room?
maggie:thy switch soo no1 gets the biggest year after year, they 're alldifferent. in series 3 thy each talked to set decorators and choose a style.so 1 room has dark wood and red plush upholsery, 1 is mod 60's room.matt le blanc' room is soo like his character:dark lounge lizard, fab sofas, massive tv screen, video games... baically you can have anything u want.

more:does tht mean u get to order in swanky food 2?
maggie:yes and every1 wants some special order.at first the only snacks on set were bubblegums, oreos and peanuts.now everymorning at breakfast there are special egg white omelette, cottage cheese and tomatoes....if any1 wanted it thy'd get a midget carrying red jelly beans.

more: are u sad its all over?
maggie.on my last episode we all kept lookin at each other saying 'okay dont make me cry, don make me cry'.ill miss it soo much and soo will thy.

more:are u goin to miss the life style?
oh yeah! i shod have ordered a pheasant taco while i cod(lols wid a distinct Janice twinge)

I loved reading the interview. They could easliy release an extra dvd with cast members and gueststars in other tv shows one day~!
Last October my friend and I saw Maggie walk near Rodeo Drive btw....we weren't sure at first, but then she looked right at us and we were too shy to say anything as she was shopping herself... :(
She's too funny "OW MY GAWD" :)

Hello, fellow Friends fans!

I am a native Brooklyn boy (who can turn his accent on or off)--and I go gaga over how dead on Maggie Wheeler's accent, nasal voice, look, and body language are. She cracks me up every time.

We know from the extras on the DVDs and Maggie Wheeler's guest appearance on Dream On that it is all an act; her real voice is actually quite pleasant. But, oh!, she does Janice so well...! ;) She reminds me of half the young women I went to high school with in the 80s...

(I actually did go to Edward R. Murrow High School with Marisa Tomei, who is a year older than I am. We were never friends, but I remember that she spoke without a Brooklyn accent. Still, when she was in My Cousin Vinny, she, too, was dead on--and I almost died laughing.)

Anyone else from Brooklyn or New York City who wishes to agree or tell me that I am crazy/giving in to stereotypes? :P

Anyone not from 'round here who wants to share? :)

Yes when I saw the DVD special features I was like "WOW her voice is actually deep!" She is very good at that and she is an excellent actress, I love her, she is my favorite female guest star by far.
Every appearance of her was hilarious and she got so good at faking the voice that it improved noticeably with each season.

And I kind of understand what you mean about the girls you went to high school with, I was a little kid in the 80s so I went to high school in the 90s and it wasn't in NY it was in Argentina but my sisters were both teenagers in the 80s and the fake high pitch voice was pretty common there at that time.
Also nowadays in Argentina if you're from an upper class you speak kinda like Janice, the more nasal, the richer! LOL it's so stupid!!! We (middle class people) make fun of them all the time.

Hi! I know there are people around here from NY (although I cannot remember anyone being from Brooklyn) that will probably be able to discuss the accent thing with you...All I want to say is that I heard her real voice some months ago and I was so surprised! The woman talks nothing like Janice and to be able to pull that so good, it proves she is a really good actress!
I love Janice although sometimes I too want to pull my arm off just so that I can have something to throw at her. :D
