Family vs. Celebrity Feud takes family to a whole new level this week, as Clay Aiken's family takes on David Foster and Katharine McPhee Foster's crew — and there's even a connection between the two.
In a clip shared exclusively with Advertising sign on Tuesday (August 6), the American Idol The Season 2 star introduces his 15-year-old son Parker, who makes his game show TV debut. The teenager, who bears a striking resemblance to his famous father, smiles sweetly at his introduction.
Furthermore, Aiken proves that he and McPhee have more in common than just being American Idol runners-up when it introduces Parker's mother, James, who also happens to be David Foster's sister.
“Is that David's sister?” host Steve Harvey asks in disbelief, before Aiken explains: “That's David's sister and David's nephew, yes. David's sister James is on the right team,” he quips. “He wanted to win.”
Aiken and McPhee were runners-up in his second and fifth seasons American Idol, respectively. Aiken lost to Ruben Studdard, while McPhee came in second to Taylor Hicks. Both have gone on to have cherished music careers, with Aiken most recently teaming up with Studdard in 2023 for a Christmas show, as well as a joint tour — Twenty the tour — across the United States and Canada.
McPhee and Foster, who have been married since 2019, released their Christmas songs album in 2023 and they share 3-year-old son Rennie.
