Oh My God! 'Friends'' Crew Had To Hide Janice Before Her Entrances On Set, And The Actress Explained Why

If you’ve ever watched "Friends," there’s no forgetting Chandler Bing’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, Janice Hosenstein, played by Maggie Wheeler. Even among the sea of stellar guest appearances, Wheeler quickly became a recognizable face in the world, which wound up landing her as a recurring character. As she appeared more frequently, the "Friends" crew ended up having to hide her until Janice appeared in the scene, which is not the standard practice. The 63-year-old shared why the process became second nature for the set.

Wheeler visited with the Still Here Hollywood Podcast with Steve Kmetko to reminisce about her time as the unforgettable Janice and her time on "Friends." During the episode, posted to YouTube, the duo cover Perry's tragic passing (she still misses her friend deeply) as well as her time with the late actor on the hit show (available to watch with a Max subscription). Kmetko jumped into how much Miss Hosenstein was loved, as audiences got to know her more and asked if there were any BTS efforts to keep her appearances a surprise.
