In a move straight out of the comedy headlines, TLC has announced that Jon Gosselin has been dropped from Jon and Kate Plus 8 for the new season of the show, set to start November 2, 2009.
The show will even be renamed as Kate Plus 8 and will follow the life of Kate Gosselin and her children as they move on without Jon.

And so Kate’s destruction of her former and formerly emasculated husband begins. She will next take him to the cleaners in the divorce, limit his access to his children, and eventually spank him barebottom in the Mummer’s Parade, for she is evil and he is a dufus.
Well, Jon’s a douche..Took TLC long enough to can him but yay.
Awesome! Now my family can return to watching. Jon is a scumbag and disgrace as a family man or father. I don’t want my kids watching anything to do with him!
It is about time, Now I can watch the show with out turning the tv. He just needs to grow up and stop acting like kid
I’m glad, he’s ruined the show. I want to watch the kids not the drama between the parents. He’s an embarassment. Now he can continue on with his sleazy life chasing after 20 year olds.
I just wish the whole show would be dropped, not just Jon. None of this can be healthy for the kids, no matter how “happy” Kate says the kids are doing the show. And if she’s already filmed a pilot for a new show, and if it is picked up, when is she going to have ANY time for those eight kids while she does TWO shows?!!
Please go to thier website, scroll to the bottom – click on viewer relations and send them an email telling them to take this show off the air!! We must try and salvage some of the children’s childhood even if their parents will not!!!! Together we can make TLC understand those are children not DOLLAR SIGNS
I think its wrong of TLC to keep the show on the air. Additionally, its wrong to keep it minus Jon. Kate is NOT A SINGLE MOTHER!!! Jon and her share 50/50 custody. They take turns living at the children’s house. He is just as responsible for those kids as she is. She maybe a newly “single” but she is NOT A SINGLE MOTHER. I hate it when people use that term when its not true.
I agree, the entire show needs to be dropped.
@Mark: Jon is a scumbag and disgrace as a family man or father. I don’t want my kids watching anything to do with him!
So you did watch Kate treat him like a child and speak to him like a four year old for the entire run of the show? There’s actually men that think that’s OK?
Boy, you’ve been conditioned by sit-coms for the last 20 years.
Hey he is the one that wanted out at the end of last season! He wasn’t comfortable in front of the camera anymore it was all just to much for him. Guess he got what he asked for. He’s a fool who took his wedding vows again and then decides after the free trip that he doesn’t want this anymore. What kind of man does that! He should have spoken to Kate earlier or handled this much differently. Kate did what she needed to do to provide for her family since the birth of 6 children with 2 home already. How many of the ideas where Jon’s. He thought since Kate was being talked about bad in the press that this was an escape to get out of the marriage and pretend to be 18 again. No matter what Jon your kids will never in their hearts forgive you, you dum fool. Good luck Kate you will do fine on your own. Women you should be proud that she can stand on her own two feet, how many wives have been left with nothing after the husband leaves. I wouldn’t buy any clothes that Jon is promoting or watch anything that he is ever on! 8 kids and you walked away, loser!
It’s ashame how their relationship had turned out so bad. Publicity and fame has gotten to the parents and these so-called videos they started off with, was supposed to reflect the growth and interaction with the children. It became a drama. It is definitely not good for the children. Jon and Kate’s relationship is a disappointment. Another divorce added to the statistic.
I can not stand jon, he had it made and he thinks the grass is greener on the other side. So you are dating girls in their 20S, how wonderfull for you. the only reason they are going out with you jon is the money and that is all. And to talk about your wife the way you did I can not understand, some day your children are going to see the tape of you grow up you are such a fool kate did the right thing she knows that if she says something about you her eight kids might see it. if it wasnt for the show and all the gifts you got where would you be
Good luck Kate we all know you can do it
What is the matter with everyone.This show is about
Kate. Kate wants to be a STAR..I am sick of her saying it’s a job…then if so its a job for those
kids also. She needs to give those kids some privacy.
She is such a selfish person,all she wants is stardom.
What kind of a person is she portraying for the public when she doesn’t have a relationship with her
parents or siblings. She has denied her children their grandparents, aunts, uncles, & cousins.
Quit feeling sorry for her, she is a millionaire,
she has nannies, cooks, household help and everyone
watching is contributing to her wealth and great
life style. Feel sorry for yourself, she is the one
getting everything for free along with all the trips.
TLC….TAKE THEM OFF THE AIR.
Well she got what she wanted all the fame and all the fortune! She went from NEEDING Jon for everything to now hiring people to do what Jon did. Way to go TLC, Thanks but no Thanks I am done watching this show forever. I just hope those kids survive what there mother has in store for them.
Oh my gosh!!!! Has any of these people seen how Kate has BASHED this man. She has treated him like s*** from day one!!!! I have watched every show from the start. I am not condoning Jon going a little crazy but he hasn’t known for a very long time what it feels like to have an ENCOURING word!!! let alone love and RESPECT from his wife!!! I am really angry and will tell everyone I know this story and no one will watch the show without JON!!!!!!
I am so ashamed that these parents and this network continue to let this sham go on. I loved the show when I thought their reasons for doing it were genuine. That has not been the case for a very long time. Without this show Kate and Jon would not be able to keep up the lifestyle that they have now come to enjoy. Maybe it didn’t start out that way, but that’s where it is now. The kids would do fine without a million dollar house, thousand dollar playhouses and all the other perks they have had the opportunity to enjoy. I have an idea. Kate can go back to nursing and Jon can go back to his career and they can start supporting their family the way most parents do. Maybe their children will grow up with some values and not and idea that things come easy. Lets face it, they aren’t the first family that has had to work to support 8 children. Most children will do fine with a parent’s love and just the fact that they are there for the children, something Jon and Kate just don’t seem to be doing for their children.
I agree with Annie, Kate is in in for Kate, she really thinks she is a star, she has created her own problems with her own actions. She treated Jon like a dog and did it in front of the world. I do not believe she has a compassionate bone in her body. Why do they keep a show on like hers when there were better shows with better families that I never see anymore.
After watching Jon and Kate and all the claims Jon has made regarding as to why he and Kate are divorcing. I find it strange that the same reason he gave for leaving Kate he allows Hailey to do.

Now does everyone see that Jon has NOT TAKEN HIS LIFE BACK HE ACTUALLY IS LIVING HAILEYS…. He loves her and will do anything for her including trying to stop there lives from being made public at the expense of HIS CHILDREN…….. YOU ARE STILL A LIMP FISH JON AND SHOW THAT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS ITS OBVIOUS YOU ARE TRYING TO KEEP HAILEY AND LIVE THROUGH HER THOUGHTS LIKE YOU DID KATE..DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS OF YOUR OWN? HAILEY WANTS SOMETHING TO STOP JON STOPS IT…..YEAH THATS RIGHT…YOU DO NOT DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU NEED TO BE RAISING KIDS YOU AREN’T CAPABLE OF DECISIONS ….HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR KIDS? TRY GETTING A LIFE, YOUR OWN LIFE AND NOT THESE TENNIE BOPPERS HOW COULD YOU CONSIDER ANYONE TIL YOU HAVE DEALT WITH ALL YOUR BUSINESS FROM YOUR FIRST FAMILY? IS THAT FAIR..YOU REALLY DO NEED AN EPIPHANY………….FREAK
Ilove the show and if Jon didn;t like the way things were going he should have talked to Kate and tried to work things out along time ago. That’s what counciling is for. Kate has hung in and took care of the kids and been there for them instead of running around with different men, unlike Jon. I want to see the show keep going without Jon. Now that she has 8 kids to raise alone she needs the money. He didn’t mind helping her get those kids. If he doesn’t want to share in making the show he can stay away. He wasn’t worried about what it was doing to them before.That is the only life they know, so to them it is normal. Good luck Kate
Jon should grow up,he’s the father of EIGHT now,be a father!!!!!!
everyone is talking about jon.. what about kate she was with a other man too so then both have to grow up… none know what happen in side dose door and wit camara… i hate when people talk and they dont know what’s going on in that house…
I really agree with your people no offence to the jon lover’s but Kate deserve’s to have a guy that is a grownup and that will help her with the eight kid’s that they have got !!!! And you have got to wonder if did Jon even think about what would happen to his family if he had a affair ? I mean what is the big deal and what’s gonna happen tot he kid’s I agree with julia good luck kate your gonna need it and I’m behind u every step of the way
I certainly don’t condone Jon’s actions before he was divorced, but Kate was a bitch to him on camera and off. The camera followed them everywhere so when were they going to be able to work anything out, Why is it that men and women think jumping in bed with the first person they come to is the way to solve problems. Unfortunately infedelity is the number one reason for divorce. There is no turning back and it cannot be undone. I’ve been married for 42 years and have had 4 children and infedelity would be unforgivable in my book. Kate makes me so sick the way she cries and has pity parties for herself on TV. It worked for TLC, they feel so sorry for her they are giving her, her own TV show. I can’t inagine anyone would watch her. I can barely stand to look at her with that hairdo and despite all the public comments about it she is emphasizing it more and more by growing the front even longer to look more like a jerk then ever. All I can say is it feels great to be able to turn on the TV and not see the Gosslins plastered all over everything. There is one thing I don’t understand. TLC fired Jon for breech of contract, but Kate did the same thing, she went on every show Jon did and then some and they didn’t fire her. I think TLC is prejudice. Why do peopl;e keep saying Kate is a wonderful mother. She is so phony. What you don’t see is all the servents she has and how is she staying home with the kids when she is out on the road all the time doing book tours. I am close to my grandchildren and Kate allienated her kids from Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles etc. Not even her family wants anything to do with her, HELLO!!
