Like a bad habit, Jon Gosselin was kicked to the curb, dropped like a hot potato and scraped off the shoes of his estranged soon-to-be-ex and the creatives behind "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

TLC dropped the bomb this Tuesday that the end of days for Jon is November 2.

Thus was born: 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,” an insider source told People.

The Gosselin marriage has been in a free-fall for at least a year, ramping up in recent months as Jon's affairs became tabloid fodder.

Kate Gosselin has also reportedly taped a pilot for a new talk show featuring Food Network's Southern cooking star, Paula Deen
