Don Johnson has actually made himself at residence within the White Home.
Throughout an look on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday, the “Miami Vice” star revealed that he’s been to the Washington, D.C., manor throughout each administration since Jimmy Carter was in workplace… and that he’s even gotten into some hijinks there.
The subject got here up when Kimmel requested Johnson about his intensive social circle, pulling out a 1975 photograph of the actor with Carter and Allman Brothers bandmates Chuck Leavell and Dickey Betts.
Requested for some context for the snapshot, the place Betts undoubtedly seemed to be smoking one thing, Johnson needed to admit, “I don’t remember that photo, but we were all stoned.”
Rapidly realizing he could have unintentionally defamed Carter, he corrected himself and stated, “Well, I don’t know about him. I don’t want to cast any aspersions on the former president. God rest his soul.”

Johnson then defined how he was invited to the White Home after serving to the band arrange a live performance to help the Democrat’s first presidential marketing campaign.
Kimmel appeared baffled when the “Nash Bridges” actor instructed him that the “fun” actually started whereas Carter was internet hosting.
“Nobody has fun there, do they?” he stated, earlier than remembering a rumor about Willie Nelson toking it up on the presidential property.
“Is that the kind of fun you had there?” Kimmel questioned. “Did you smoke at the White House?”
Playfully grimacing and throwing up his arms for a second, Johnson confessed, “I don’t know how to answer this… Well, yes, I guess I did.”
Because the viewers erupted in applause, the actor stated he’s been a repeat customer on the White Home and even shared some good instances with President George H.W. Bush.
Although Johnson made it clear that Bush didn’t partake in any of the satan’s lettuce, he did reveal the Republican had one other weak spot.
“He wanted to gamble when we played golf out at Camp David. And so, I took his money,” he smirked. “I’ll tell you something else: He’s a trash talker, and he ran into a buzzsaw ’cause so am I.”
Whereas Johnson has been chummy with various presidents, again throughout a 2019 look on Kimmel, he instructed the late evening host he wasn’t on the very best phrases with President Donald Trump.
Apparently, again within the ’80s, the then-real property mogul made a take care of Johnson to place the identify of his Atlantic Metropolis resort “Trump Castle” on one of many star’s racing boats — however Trump didn’t preserve his finish of the deal.
“I took the sponsorship money, he made me make his name bigger, and then he stiffed me on the money,” Johnson dished.
