00:00Hi Maggie, how are you?
00:02Maggie Wheeler, she played Janice on Friends.
00:06Oh, I love her!
00:08That was a terrible impression!
00:10She did it for me, it was really fun.
00:12Did she really?
00:14I love her!
00:16So, the Ellen special just came out.
00:18She was on the Ellen show.
00:20You're talking about the sitcom?
00:22The sitcom! She actually got fired from the Ellen show.
00:24Why?
00:26She didn't say exactly why, but she said...
00:28I was just the first to go.
00:30I wasn't the last to go.
00:32I asked her how she felt about it and she was like...
00:34After I wiped my tears and I licked my wounds,
00:36the Friends audition came through
00:38and I felt very free.
00:40That's why I think I was able to go
00:42and give the audition that I did.
00:44Do we think she still makes millions of dollars
00:46in mailbox money?
00:48No.
00:50That show is in syndication everywhere.
00:52It drives me crazy, I don't want to talk about it.
00:54You get 12 cents.
00:5612 cents? You get one penny.
00:58I've gotten a penny.
01:00I have that in my office.
01:02I've gotten a check for less than the cost of a stamp many times.
01:04What do you do with that money? Do you deposit it?
01:06I give it to Derek.
01:08I tried to cash it, but it didn't happen.
01:10Okay, bye!
