David Foster | Club Random with Bill Maher

Legendary music producer David Foster joins Bill Maher on Club Random to share stories from his career. He explains why even the greatest artists have a low hit rate, recalling that only about 50 out of 1,000 songs become hits. Foster recounts a studio trick—a fake rough mix—that helped bring out Whitney Houston’s iconic vocal on “I Will Always Love You,” and shares a harrowing anecdote about accidentally hitting actor Ben Vereen with his car. The conversation also covers AI’s impact on music, age-gap relationships, education, and whether Bill Maher or the Democratic Party has changed.
