Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was the name of Jack Nicholson’s character in the 1980 film “The Shining”?"
Stanly Kubrick’s 1980 classic film “The Shining” is widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made. In the film, Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson) rips his way through the Overlook Hotel in pursuit of his wife. In the movie's most quoted moment, Nicholson chops a hole in a bathroom door, announcing to his terrified spouse — "Here's Johnny!" The "Here's Johnny!" line that followed the door’s destruction was improvised by Nicholson and lifted from the intro to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
