A common [[Stock Phrase]], said when [[Lampshading]] somebody's entrance. If you're announcing yourself this way, either you have no friends to announce you or you have a big ego. If you announce somebody else this way, you're drawing everyone's attention to the other person's big entrance.

Born from Ed McMahon's [[Catch Phrase]] “Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!” on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', it was made popular and haunting when used in the film ''[[The Shining]]'' by [[Jack Nicholson]]. Since then, it had made its way into popular culture as a trope all its own, occasionally with different names replacing "Johnny".
 
A video of examples of this trope can be viewed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdyJV-lXkcw&t=95s here].
