MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show hit an all-time ratings high Thursday night with an interview with Mary Tump.

Maddow's sit-down with President Trump's niece drew a record 5.23 million viewers to the show, leading every show on cable and broadcast in primetime Thursday. The audience for the hour easily surpassed The Rachel Maddow Show's previous high of 4.47 million viewers, set in January for an interview with impeachment figure Lev Parnas.

Thursday's edition also claimed the largest viewership for a regularly scheduled show in MSNBC's history.

Mary Trump's book, Too Much and Never Enough, has become an instant best-seller for its account of how the Trump family shaped her uncle's personality. Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, details how her family played a role in developing what she says is Donald Trump's narcissism and inability to empathize.
