Jon Gosselin is the Gift that Keeps on Giving

Jon Gosselin, the father of all those kids in Jon and Kate Plus 8, claims he was planning on quitting the show. Of course this comes a couple of days after learning it's about to become Kate Plus 8. People says:

Five minutes into the appearance of Jon and his attorney Mark Heller, the lawyer told King that TLC terminated Jon's Jon & Kate Plus 8 contract on Tuesday because Jon was planning to go on the show and announce he was ending the program by no longer appearing on it and by refusing to allow his children to participate.

Though Gosselin told King that his intention was to "pull the plug" on the show weeks before TLC fired him, King later read a statement from the network claiming that it had received no such word from Jon.

If any other sleazy television network has a brain, they'll quickly get him under contract for new spin-off show. It can basically be a bunch of cameras following him around til he inevitably commits suicide. Maybe he'll do it on Christmas day...kinda like one last gift to humanity.
