David Foster | Club Random with Bill Maher

Legendary hitmaker David Foster joins Bill Maher on Club Random with the stories behind some of music’s biggest hits—and a few well-kept secrets. Foster explains why even the greatest artists only bat “50 out of 1,000,” reveals how a fake rough mix helped turn Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” into an iconic recording, and recounts the terrifying night he accidentally struck actor Ben Vereen while driving home from a session with Michael Bolton. Foster weighs in on Barbra Streisand’s Guilty, puts The Beatles in a league of their own, and shares a hilarious story about trying hash as a teenager in Canada. He and Maher also tackle AI’s growing influence on music, age-gap relationships, education, dream dinner guests, and whether Bill changed—or the Democratic Party did.During a lively round of rapid-fire questions about the Beatles versus the Stones and dream dinner guests, Foster and Maher tackle AI’s growing influence on music, age-gap relationships, education, and whether Bill changed—or the Democratic Party did.
