in her opening statement of the press conference, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher said that “If we don’t stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble, we are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines.”

The Nanny, comin in hot! Fran Drescher has always been cool as hell, I didn't realize shit was the president of SAG-AFTRA!

I can never in-hear her laugh on Friends.

That's a different actor. The Friends character Janice is a parody on Fran's character on The Nanny.

They did a great job because I always thought it was the same woman!

that one on Friends was not Fran Drescher, it was Maggie Wheeler
