Stephen Colletti & James Lafferty: Everyone Is Doing Great, One Tree Hill, and Fatherhood

This week, Tommy is joined by longtime friends and collaborators James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti for a conversation about friendship, fatherhood, and building careers that have evolved far beyond their early fame. The two reflect on their journeys from One Tree Hill and reality television into creating and producing projects of their own, discussing the hustle it took to get their latest series made and why this new chapter feels so personal. James opens up about the lasting impact of Nathan Scott's journey and the emotional experience of wrapping One Tree Hill, while Stephen talks about transitioning from reality TV into scripted acting and the fan support that shaped his path. They also share behind-the-scenes stories about developing their new show, finding its indie-style tone, and balancing humor, improvisation, and authenticity while drawing from experiences surprisingly close to home. Plus, the pair discuss navigating the entertainment industry as business partners, Stephen's recent fan-favorite run on The Traitors, and what audiences can expect from season two of their series.
