Well, looks like Janice (Maggie Wheeler) is the guest star that refuses to die.
 :)   I think I've seen her (or heard her voice, as in S6) in every season of
Friends except S4.   With the possible exception of Ross and Monica's parents,
I think she's been in more Friends episodes than any other guest star.   Her
"Oh-My-God" and annoying nasal laugh are two of the most memorable things about
Friends.  She always pops up when you least expect it, like this past episode.
 She was terrific in the S8 finale, that's for sure.

I've also saw her on Everybody Loves Raymond a few times, too (without the annoying nasal voice). I guess she doesn't have the looks or the star quality to be a lead actress (otherwise she would have landed a lead role by now), but she's a great supporting actress.

I disagree. I think she has both looks and star quality, but how many stars can there be?

Does Gunther count? Or Ursula?

There is a Seinfeld episode in which Jerry and Elaine fix George up with Maggie Wheeler. Although she does not sound like Janice, George asked about her voice before agreeing to meet her, and was assured it was "mellifluous".

Ursula has been in, what, five episodes? Not a whole lot.

What about the Gellers?

My vote goes to Gunther...

He seems more like a permanent fixture... Even though he's credited as a guest star.

She was in season 4 as well. Chandler had to go to Yemen to get rid of her in 415 TOW All the Rugby.

My bad. I forgot about that episode.

Here's my tally on Janice appearances: S1-S3: Multiple times each season S4: TOW All The Rugby (415) S5: TOW Chandler's Work Laugh (512) S6: TOW The Unagi (617, just her voice, though) S7: TOW Ross' Library Book (707) S8: TOW Rachel Has A Baby (823-824) S9: TOW The Fertility Test (921)

I may have forgotten a few, though.
