Jon Gosselin officially kicked off 'Jon and Kate Plus 8'? Kate's sweet revenge!

Jon relaxes

TLC has just announced that Jon Gosselin has been booted off his reality show.

As of Nov. 1, the show's name will be "Kate Plus 8."

"Given Jon's recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting dad, not while all this other crap was going on," a source tells People.

We're shocked! You mean people don't approve of this separated man having sex with nannies, dating tabloid reporters, hanging out in Vegas, and handing off his dogs to their breeder?

The viewership has admittedly dipped dramatically. Only 4.2 million viewers tuned in to see "Jon & Kate" on Aug. 3. A mere 1.7 million watched last week.

Apparently, TLC thinks people will come back to watch Kate Gosselin and those adorable kids. 

It's definitely going to be interesting to watch a single mom cope with eight kids. 

Plus Kate has all those other irons in the fire now.  Like....

She recently completed a guest-host run on "The View," and she reportedly taped a pilot for a talk show on the Food Network.

Hey, maybe they should call the show "The Live-In Nanny and Kate plus 8?"

BTW, can't wait to see how well Jon scores with all the young babes now that he's not on TV anymore.

Will you watch the show again without JoGo -- and his surgically enhanced young girlfriend, Hailey Glassman -- on it? 

Or is it just to sad to see the Gosselin family without a father? 

More Jon Dish: 

Jon Gosselin despises Kate! Well, back at ya!

Jon Gosselin says Kate called him a "lame fish." That's duck, Jon. Lame duck.

Ughhh get them off the air, if TLC thinks for one moment Kate can shed any light on being a single mother they have rocks in their head. Let she and I change paychecks then see her on a reality show. Do they think we are that dumb????

Hallelujah!!! Good riddance Jon.

Totally awesome news! Now my family can return to watching tghe show. There is no way I'll let my kids watch anything to do with that scumbag as he is the poorest excuse for a family man and father period.

The show was interesting because it made us envious of the "couple" - ie, the "parents." We looked to them to see how wonderful a family could really be. To say I am disappointed in both of them is an understatement. When he started messing around, I stopped watching the show. They became just like all the rest of the people with too many children trying to capitalize on the money. It took resolve for him to go to work everyday, that is until we all saw how lazy and uncommitted he really was.

DOESN'T MATTER. THIS SHOW IS SOON TO BE CANCELLED ANYWAY, AS NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN IT ANYMORE. TLC JUST NEEDS TO FINALLY GIVE IT UP.

I am done with this show..TLC can change the name but it won't change my mind. This show is washed up and Kate Gosselin is a disappointment. Who is really raising those children? Between her thirst for fame and money and Jon the deadbeat dad, watching that show in all it's scripted scenes is horrible. Does anyone care about those kids? The only thing that would get me to watch this show is if was called "Gosselin children get all proceeds from being exploited". Hang it up - nice try TLC but it won't bring me back. I have banned all TLC programming because I feel they are exploiting these children, and they have parents that allow it. Lots of other programming that is entertaining and really gives you a sense of family. This show is a joke. I look forward to this show running out of steam and being cancelled.

I will certainly be watching the show without Jon. As will all the bloggers who are jealous of Kate's paycheck

I am so glad for Kate!! She had worked her b&tt off for her family, too bad most of you do not realize what it takes to be were she is. Hope Jon will someday grow up and realize what he has lost. He had it made. No, no one is perfect but true character comes out in moment of difficulties. I hope she will someday realize the love of her pets, she will gain tremendous audience, people love dogs and I hope she will someday love her dogs and teach her children to respect and play nice with the dogs. They have unbelievable devotion and love to give.

Good, he is not a role model for a family with children. I miss the old shows, anyway. When we thought they were a struggling family. Kate is boring.

No, I will no longer be watching this show. It has NOTHING to do with Jon's departure.

It feels like the public has been abused--in addition to Jon---why that fake wedding last year--there were certainly signs that things were going wrong!

The kids are being exploited. The show has moved away from being about them--it has been about the parents and all the 'stuff' they are both involved in and get!

I am not jealous of them. I no longer find the show interesting and do not want all the drama that the drama queen-Kate will bring to the party.

Now on to the dogs----they are saying Jon gave them back. I KNEW the moment they went into that house, they would be returned. I suspect it has LITTLE to do with Jon.

But, it does not matter what I think--those kids need to be able to live their lives without cameras in their faces.

Shame on TLC if they continue this farce!
