Here's Johnny!
■■■■■
● FeaturedJack Nicholson's terrifying improvised line in 'The Shining' is a horror classic, but its context and delivery are sometimes skewed.
●
What People Remember
People often remember Jack Torrance (Nicholson) bursting through the door with a loud, drawn-out 'Here's Johnny!' as if it were a direct quote from 'The Tonight Show'.
◉
What's Actually True
While the line is indeed spoken, its delivery is more guttural and menacing, and it's less of a direct imitation of Ed McMahon's 'Tonight Show' opening than often recalled.
