Yes, Kate Gosselin is returning to the small screen -- but she'll be without her "plus eight."

According to entertainment site The Wrap, Gosselin, 34, will be "trying different jobs and tasks and showing how she performs in the different environments" on the upcoming as-yet-untitled TLC show, which is slated to premiere in late spring or early summer.

The show will likely have an interactive component, with the professions and corresponding challenges being somewhat determined by the audience, according to The Wrap.

One likely scenario: She works in a restaurant. (In December, Gosselin was spotted working behind the counter at a popular greasy spoon in Raleigh, N.C.)

Though a TLC rep says things are "still in development," The Wrap reports that Gosselin's new show will be "more like Kate Gosselin, firefighter, not Kate Gosselin, wife and homemaker."

Execs are convinced Gosselin -- who just debuted new extensions -- can headline her own gig. "She's proven herself to be a celebrity in her own right," an executive at Discovery, which owns TLC, told TheWrap. "With the interest she generates, she can fit into any role on her own."

Last year, Gosselin, known for guest hosting The View, also taped a pilot for a talk show costarring Food Network star Paula Deen, among other TV female personalities.

At a women's conference last year, she remarked: "I've been given the gift of gab, so why not use it?"

    Kate is an idiot and a troublemaker, and I look forward to the day when at least one of her kids throws her under the bus.

  • January 29, 2010 - 11:08pm INVESTIGATE - AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

    All anyone has to do is investigate , and they will find KEVIN-JULIE & JODI ARE LYING.----And if it was NEVER about Money'' why did they take Donations'?? and then kept ALL the Donated MONEY''. Jodi even BRAGGED on the blog about paying OFF her House loan'. They claimed they started her hate blog to Stop the Gosselin children from being exploited. '''While she posts pictures of the Gosselin kids and allows haters to talk TERRIBLY about them. ''ISN'T THAT EXPLOITING THEM???

    Kevin and Jodi Kreider collected $3000 for every episode they appeared on, according to Kevin. The fight between Jodi and Kate was about whether Jodi would have a contracted recurring role. Kate didn't want it, and I don't blame her. By the time that issue came up, Julie, Jodi's sister, had a Facebook''' fan club going for Jodi and against Kate,''' without confessing that she was Jodi's sister. Get it?''' She's dishonest!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the claim of child exploitation, where was that'' when Jodi was on the show, accepting money for her appearances, and wanting to negotiate a contract? Hmmmm? The Hate blog that the Krieder's run' is just a revenge blog. , and a money maker for them.

  • January 27, 2010 - 4:38pm Ha Ha @Jon

    Sorry, Jon — if you want to be an actor, you’re only going to get parts playing parodies of yourself Be wary (but don’t worry) Brad PittGosselin is out for your job. Word on the street is the octodad wants to break into the world of acting and has been “taking meetings” at the Sundance Film Festival with Hollywood bigwigs to discuss walk-on roles. If you’re secretly cracking up over the idea of seeing this reality star (we use the term loosely) on the big or small screen, you’re not the only one. “Right now, Jon Gosselin is the punch line to a joke,”(((EVERYONE IS LAUGHING AT JON....HA HA HA HA ))

  • January 27, 2010 - 2:08pm GO AWAY KATE!

    I thought we finally got rid of this narsistic witch. I will definately not watch this show, it will be phoney and unrealistic just like Kate. Please TLC, find someone else to do a show!

  • January 27, 2010 - 12:16am A Single mom

    Any mother with eight children has a tremdous job, especially when the father is off with a different girlfriend each week. Kate is doing what she must do to support her family. Can you image what it cost to raise a family that large? If Jon would work to earn money, then maybe Kate would not have to work. But at the moment, that is not an option for Kate as she cannot depend on Jon. I am glad she has the opportunity to learn enough money to support her children, and only wish her success as she makes her way as a single mom.

  • January 23, 2010 - 9:45am HAHAHA

    KHATE NEEDS TO PRETEND TO WORK ON BEING A MOTHER! NOT A MUTHA! HAHAHA!

  • January 22, 2010 - 3:45pm LaBehr

    OMG, I can't imagine this, Kate Gosselin Firefighter? She's such a celebrity in her own right people want to see her pretending to really work and getting int he way of people who save lives? Or waitressing? I couldn't care less to see that. Her appeal was her family and relationship with Jon and that went south long ago. Let it die.

  • January 22, 2010 - 12:15am WAY TO GO KATE

    KATE IS GOING TO DO GREAT WITH HER SHOW!!! THIS NEW SHOW IS GOING TO HAVE THE HIGHEST RATINGS OF ANY NEW SHOW ON TLC.----EVEN THOSE OBSESSED CRAZY MEAN KHATERS ARE GOING TO BE WATCH-ING HER EVERY TIME----LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • January 21, 2010 - 7:44pm barbee

    Kate has shown time and again that she is (using a word she used) UNcapable of handling a show as a host, co-host, star (remember Season 5-Kate as main character in that reality farce), whatever on camera. The show lasted as long as the kids were young and cute acting (now that the tups are almost six, not so much anymore). TLC is being very stupid in waiting until late spring or early summer to try and shove her down our throats again, you know, out of sight/out of mind (she's out of our sight and out of her mind). I don't think Kate stole any spotlight back from anyone. WHAT is Kate's real job? She ain't workin either!!!!!!!! If she had half a brain, she'd realize she has not talent, no marketable skills, no personality/appeal, and would give up and live off the $$$$$$$$ she has stashed away. With all the freebies they were given, it is hard to impossible to believe even those two could have spent all they earned in the 2 1/2 years on the show. And if Aunt Jodi is being investigated for some charity thing, are Jon and Kate also being investigated re taxes on the $$$$ in freebies received? It's hard to believe that someone can be that stupid that they can delude themselves into believing they have anything to offer in the way of entertainment, they couldn't even pull off reality!

    I like Kate! I think she deserves any success she can attain while she is raising her family. It depends on what it is, but I would watch her. Why don't they do a "Kate plus Eight?" Jon can't pay his bills so why is he keeping the show off the air? Dumb!

  • January 18, 2010 - 2:33am Airhead Kate

    Kate got jealous of Tiger Woods and his mistresses stealing the spotlight, so she stole it back with another drastic hairstyle. For all the good that light is doing now, it might as well be aimed toward outer space. Aimed at Kate, there's nothing to see but dead air. How long is this going to go on, her turning the spotlight on herself, only to walk around town looking dumb?
