Reality TV Mom Kate Gosselin To Co-Host
August 26, 2009 | Posted at 5:01 AM
That's right, folks, we've got another big name to announce as a guest co-host on The View's new season: Kate Gosselin, better known as one-half of the reality TV parenting couple Jon & Kate Plus 8, will step up to the co-hosts' table on September 14th and 15th.
The Gosselins, of course, have been in the news a lot in the last six months. The new season of their TLC show debuted to huge ratings ... and also huge controversy, and ultimately Jon and Kate announced their impending divorce. The ladies of The View have previously made Jon and Kate focal points of the discussion.
Kate will be stepping into the chair of regular co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who will be on maternity leave, having given birth to her third child, Isaiah, on August 9th. Previously, Meghan McCain, E.D. Hill, and LaToya Jackson have been announced as guest co-hosts in the new season -- and Kathy Griffin and Victoria Beckham as guests.
Tell us what you want to see in the new season -- from who you want to see filling in for Elisabeth to what you want to hear Kate discuss -- in our message boards!
And for more on Kate, check out People.com and the current issue of People.

August 26th, 2009, 5:49 amAre you kidding me??? That is one episode I will surely boycott. This woman should be home with her children and stop sensationalizing her life.

August 26th, 2009, 5:51 amKate Gosselin once again on TV? Is she going to have her big pity party once again?? I am really surprised and disappointed at The Veiw for having this abusive, exploitive,no talent woman as as host. If asked about her divorce, which she and Jon have exploited for ratings, she is not honest, so why even bother? ENOUGH of this woman. I will tune out on those days, thanks for the warning. (PS there is a HUGE difference between being famous and infamous. Kate being the latter.)
