Clay Aiken's look-alike son Parker is all grown up.

The 15-year-old joined his dad and other family members on Tuesday's episode of "Celebrity Family Feud" on ABC.

As Aiken introduced each of his family members on the show, he said of his son, "This is my son Parker making his TV debut."

Aiken and his family -- which also included his mom, brother and Parker's mom -- faced off against music producer David Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee.
