Jimmy Kimmel‘s pulled TV interview with James Talarico, the Texan Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, has crossed 5 million views in the 24 hours since it was posted to YouTube.

It was revealed during Wednesday night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that the interview would not air on his ABC show because of threats from Donald Trump’s FCC against the network’s affiliate stations. “Out of consideration for our local stations, especially our ABC affiliates in Texas who would have to deal with this nonsense, my interview tomorrow with James Talarico will not air on television,” Kimmel said on air. “It will be posted on YouTube instead. It will not be on TV.”
