Kate Gosselin's Talk Show Hopes

She’s been a stay at home mother for most of her years, but now it is being reported that Kate Gosselin may be switching gears to a TV talk show host.

Last Thursday, the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” mother spoke at a Southern Women’s Show in Charlotte, NC, confirming that she does, indeed, want her own show.

She tells the Charlotte Observer, "I've been given the gift of gab, so why not use it?” Of her guest hosting on “The View,” Kate says it was "sort of like a career move, so I had to do it."

Us magazine has confirmed that Gosselin joined Paula Deen at a pilot taping in NYC over the weekend. Comedian Julie Gold, former CBS talent Rene Syler and Lee Woodruff, wife of former “ABC World News” anchor Bob Woodruff, are among the other women being considered for the show.
