By June ’85, Miami Vice (premiered Sept ’84) had vaulted Johnson into heart-throb status. Letterman’s show was one of the first major platforms for him to talk about that whirlwind rise.
He mentions gearing up to film The Prodigal Son, offering a sneak-peek into his post-Miami Vice trajectory.

Johnson jokes about his “laid-back detective” image versus reality: ”I don’t really carry around a six-shooter,” he quips, riffing on his tough-guy persona. Dave teases him about pastel suits and the “coke-snorting” rumors from tabloids—Johnson handles each jab with easy charm and a genuine laugh.
• A candid moment: When asked about fame’s downsides, Don pauses, then shares how he misses anonymity and quiet mornings before stardom. Their banter showcased why Don wasn’t just a pretty face—he could spar comedically with one of TV’s sharpest wits. This interview captures mid-80s talk-show energy, pastel-soaked aesthetics, and the birth of the Miami Vice phenomenon.
