Lewis Capaldi Showcases Uplifting Single ‘Survive' on ‘Fallon'
The musician shared an emotional rendition of 'Survive,' which he initially debuted at Glastonbury in June.

Lewis Capaldi Is Ready to Release New EP After 'Crying Quite a Lot' in Therapy for Two Years
Capaldi sat down with Fallon to discuss the single and his surprise set on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. The singer had last performed at the festival in 2023, where he was seen battling Tourette's throughout his set. Shortly after, he announced all upcoming tour dates would be cancelled to focus on his mental and physical well-being. He acknowledged that returning to Glastonbury was 'terrifying.'
'In the lead-up to it I was like, 'This is horrific. I made a terrible decision,'' Capaldi told Fallon. 'And then I went out and then we did it and it was really beautiful and lovely, and it went exactly as how I hoped. And it was probably the best day of my life.'
He added, joking, 'Until, I assume, when I have a child. I'll be like, 'Well, maybe Glastonbury was still better.''
Capaldi also discussed his partnership with online therapy service BetterHelp and how therapy has helped him in his own mental health journey. He recalled having a 'mental breakdown' on stage in 2023 and explained what it has taken to get him to a more stable place. Now, Capaldi is ready to perform again regularly. 'We've just announced a U.K. arena tour and an Australia arena tour,' he noted. 'You can try and get tickets, but they're sold out baby!'
Earlier this month, Capaldi confirmed he is in the process of readying a new EP. 'I don't know about an album, but I'm doing an EP at some point this year, and then album maybe will follow next year,' the musician said on Good Morning America. He said his next single will arrive 'later this summer, and then another song after that, and another song after that, until the day I die.'

Remembering Malcolm-Jamal Warner: A look at memorable Theo moments from 'The Cosby Show'
The memory of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who died this week at age 54, will live on amongst his loved ones and fans of his iconic performance as Theodore "Theo" Huxtable on "The Cosby Show." Warner reportedly drowned after being caught by a high current in the water while swimming near Cocles, a beach in Limon, Costa Rica, on July 20. The Emmy-nominated actor's death shocked the world and resulted in a wave of tributes from the Hollywood industry. Bill Cosby, who notably played his TV dad Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, said: "I enjoyed working with him very much." Warner was also known for his roles in the 1990s UPN sitcom "Malcolm & Eddie" and as Dr. AJ Austin on the Fox medical drama "The Resident." However, his portrayal as Theo on the 1980s trailblazing sitcom "The Cosby Show," hailed for shattering stereotypes about Black families, has stuck with people even decades later. "You were (the) cornerstone of 'The Cosby Show.' We all loved Theo! Never to be forgotten," actress Niecy Nash wrote. Here are some memorable moments fans of the show have come to know and love over the years featuring Theo on "The Cosby Show." More: Bill Cosby speaks out on his 'Cosby Show' costar Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death 'A Shirt Story': Season 1, Episode 5 In this episode, Theo, 14, is eager to wear a designer Gordon Gatrelle yellow shirt worth $95 for an upcoming date. His father, Cliff, orders him to take it back to the store and purchase a different one for $30. His sister, Denise, offers to sew him a replica for the reduced price, but it didn't turn out like he hoped. "Is this my shirt? Is this the shirt I paid $30 for? Is this the shirt they're supposed to think is a Gordon Gatrelle?" he yelled when he saw the results. This episode aired in 1984, but the image of Theo wearing the Gordon Gatrelle shirt has become a staple in pop culture. It's often used on social media in the form of memes or GIFs to react to a funny or embarrassing situation. Actor Anthony Mackie even paid homage to the classic episode several months ago when he appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on Halloween. Mackie walked out in the shirt and stated he had to go "old school". Fallon then asks "Is this a real Gordon Gatrelle?" to which Mackie replies, "This is an authentic Gordon Gatrelle!" @AnthonyMackie wore Denise's Gordon Gartrelle shirt on The Tonight Show and it made the hearts of Elder Millennials soar. We didn't want the $95 version, we wanted this one. The one Theo paid $30 for. STILL want it. 😥RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warnerhttps:// 'Theo and the Joint': Season 1, Episode 17 Theo's parents, Clair and Cliff, confronted him after finding a joint in his geography textbook after he left the house. Theo told them it didn't belong to him, stating, "I don't do drugs and never have." They believed Theo, but the situation left him rattled. He later approached his classmate Tony Braxton, who used the drugs and admitted to putting the joint in his book when the teacher walked into the class. Theo asked him to come clean to his parents, which Braxton admits to Cliff at the end of the episode, highlighting peer pressure. 'Theo's Economic Lesson': Season 1, Episode 1 In the series pilot, Theo is in hot water after getting several Ds on his report card. Theo expresses to his father, Cliff, that he wants to work like a "regular person" instead of pursuing higher education. In the iconic scene, Cliff uses Monopoly money to give Theo a lesson on the financial pressures he would face as an adult. At the end of his pep talk, Cliff pushes him to try in school. 'Theo's Gift': Season 6, Episode 5 Theo is frustrated because he got a C on his mythology exam and later learns that he has dyslexia, a learning disability, after taking a diagnostic test. Theo says the learning counselor will ask his professors to accommodate him during class and set him up with a special instructor to help him with notetaking. This episode brought awareness about dyslexia, which can lead to difficulties with reading and writing, to the forefront. 'Theo and Cockroach': Season 2, Episode 15 Theo and his friend Cockroach (played by actor Carl Anthony Payne II) have a test on Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and decide to read a condensed version instead of the assignment. Theo is confident he has at least passed the test, but his mother, Clair, forces him to read the text anyway in an episode that brought the importance of education to the forefront with classic humor.

Trump and Jimmy Kimmel are trading barbs after Stephen Colbert's cancellation
Stephen Colbert's canceled, President Trump is on the attack, and Jimmy Kimmel is hitting back. Trump said Tuesday in a Truth Social post that ABC's Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC's "Tonight Show," would be "NEXT to go" after CBS declined to renew Colbert's contract. "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone," Trump wrote. The president slammed Kimmel and Fallon as having "absolutely NO TALENT" and even blamed them for "destroying what used to be GREAT Television." Kimmel clapped back an hour later on Instagram by alluding to The Wall Street Journal's reporting on Trump and disgraced financier and sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. The Journal reported that a letter bearing Trump's name was given to Epstein as part of a book created for his birthday in 2003. In an interview with the Journal, Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture, saying, "I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women," and "It's not my language. It's not my words." Trump has since sued the Journal over the story, alleging defamation. "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret," Kimmel wrote in the Instagram post, which featured a screenshot of Trump's post about him. The Journal reported that the letter bearing Trump's name said: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Kimmel, Fallon, and spokespeople for ABC, NBC, and CBS didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Hosts and others in the entertainment community have been sounding off and standing up for Colbert after CBS declined to renew his show when his contract expires in mid-2026. The cancellation has drawn scrutiny for its timing, as CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, needs FCC approval for an acquisition by Skydance. This month, Paramount said it had agreed to pay Trump a $16 million settlement. Trump had sued CBS, alleging "60 Minutes" had deceptively edited an interview with Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign. "I don't like it. I don't like what's going on one bit — these are crazy times," Fallon said in reference to the Colbert cancellation to open his show on Monday night. Jon Stewart also blasted CBS's decision during an expletive-filled monologue on Monday's "The Daily Show." "When your industry is faced with changes, you don't just call it a day. My God, when CDs stopped selling, they didn't just go, 'Oh well, music, it's been a good run,'" Stewart said. Stewart and Colbert's shows share a parent company in Paramount.
