Thursday's interview will be Trump’s first sit down with Holt since the Nightly News anchor moderated the first presidential debate, and it comes amid the continuing controversy over Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey.

On Tuesday, NBC announced Holt's nightly broadcast had topped ratings across the board for the third straight week, averaging 7.7 million total viewers.
