Janice was involved with Zoot in the first season of "The Muppet Show" but paired up with Floyd Pepper at the start of season two. Janice was performed by Eren Ozker during the first season of "The Muppet Show" (without the valley-girl voice), then she was performed by Richard Hunt until his death in 1992. Briefly, in The Muppet Show pilot, in the Muppet Meeting Films and in one Season 1 sketch she was performed by Fran Brill. Due to the lack of female Muppet performers, Janice has, since Ozker's departure, consistently been played by a man.
