Jon Gosselin "Trying" to Land TV Gig to Pay $22K Child Support

Kate Gosselin has a new show, and now Jon wants to return to TV as well.
"I would like a job in some aspect of TV, probably as a host," the reality dad, 33, told TMZ.com Thursday morning.
The reason he wants back on air? He can't swing his court-ordered child support.
"I just can't afford the $22,000 a month right now," Jon admitted. "That is why I'm trying to find a job."
Jon came out swinging against his former lawyer earlier Thursday for accusing his estranged wife Kate of "promoting" herself.
After Anthony List released a statement to TMZ.com that Kate, 35, is "always promoting something... and most of the time it's herself,” Jon took to Twitter to declare, "He has no legal right to speak to the press or anyone on my behalf.
“Kate, her attorneys and I are moving forward to work out things privately and amicably,” he added.

List filed on Jon's behalf for primary custody for his eight kids and child support from Kate, but Jon said on Thursday, "I never wanted primary custody, he [List] filed for that. I only wanted a more flexible custody schedule so I could be with my kids." (List refutes that, saying, "He signed off on everything.")

List told TMZ that even though Kate was booted off Dancing With the Stars Tuesday, she will still make money from her shows Twist of Kate and specials on TLC featuring the twins and sextuplets.
"Dancing with the Stars is just the tip of the iceberg for Kate, as surely there will be many other projects to take its place soon," List sniped to TMZ Thursday.

Jon and Kate -- who split last summer after 10 years of marriage -- are next due in court May 25.

I hope all you Kate hating morons kids are normal because none of you are. Those poor, poor, poor, poor kids that belong to you. You need a trip to the mental ward, all of you. I am not sure that it will do any good. LMOA LMAO LMAO L
Does he really think someone is going to take such a risk with this huge liability idiot? Kate looked good on Jimmy Kemmel. This pic is not so cute.
Jon Gosselin may be strapped for cash, but he's got a plan: another new girlfriend. "He has a new forty-something Washington, D.C., love interest," a Gosselin insider says in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now. "She's rich -- and he's hoping to have her back one of his projects." Well haters you are an @$$ again and Jon make you the @$$es you are. LMAO LMAO LMAO He is such the good parent that you haters like soooooooooooo much.

Talk about looking like an old, dried up hag! What exactly does anyone find appealing about her? It is certainly not her intelligence, for she is just plain dumb ... it is certainly not her personality, as she is a total witch ... and it certainly isn't for her talent or looks, because she doesn't have either of those! What is the fascination? Enlighten me, please!
I AM A FAT UGLY MISERABLE HAG. I HAVE NO ONE IN MY LIFE BUT MY OTHER KATE HATING HAGS. NO MAN WILL EVER WANT TO BE WITH ME. I JUST WRITE KATE HATE ALL DAY. I CRAP MY DEPENDS EVERY TIME A NEW STORY ABOUT KATE COMES OUT. I HANG OUT WITH THE OTHER UGLY FAT KATE HATING HAGS BECAUSE JUST WONDERING AND LISA K ARE GOOD AT LICKING MY NASTY OLD SPOILED SNATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's the one who should sue. Sue this BIT.CH. for at least $50,000 a month. The kids shouldn't be their horrible awful terrible mother. Kate is a MONSTER. She is the worst parent.
I think that it's time that K face reality. The way that she and her attorney have torn down Jon, there isn't a hope in Hades that he will be able to come up with anything near $22,000 a month. He was only making $40,000 a year when the tups were born. He will have trouble finding a job at any salary. I think Kate will be going through some additional failures in her career. The book is definitely not selling. There won't be any more love offerings for her not pity gifts. She is only signed for 15 of her new shows and if they don't go, she is virtually out of show biz options unless she goes for a "HEIDI" and joins the circus as a side show. Within two years, the house will be on the market and Kate will be living in the real world.

Oh come ON, Jonboy! You signed another document without reading it carefully? You're even dumber than I thought you were! This smacks of drama designed to keep you in the headlines. Read my text: G O A W A Y ! You don't have the skill to be a 'tv host'. You dont' have the skill to be a television ANYTHING. No one is going to hire you because you're so much trouble to deal with. For once in your lame-brained life, GET A GRIP, and go find a job that isn't in entertainment. You, like Kate, have N O T A L E N T and even less scruples. (Yeah another big word...go look it up, Lame fish.
