Jon Gosselin Filmed Waiting Tables at Black Dog Restaurant: See Kate Gosselin's Ex in Action [VIDEO]
After hitting rock bottom "like 20 times," Jon Gosselin took a job as a waiter. Now in an exclusive Entertainment Tonight video, Kate Gosselin's ex-husband is caught in the act at his new job.
In the aftermath of his messy divorce and the conclusion of Jon & Kate, Jon says he found it nearly "impossible" to re-enter the workforce. Now he's serving patrons at Black Dog, a restaurant near his home in Pennsylvania.
"At first I was nervous because I was like, 'How are people going to react?' " Gosselin told ET. "But then I'm thinking, 'Well, it's fun and I get to talk to people.' And they technically already know me … they're like, 'Are you the guy?' I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm the guy.'"
Earlier this summer, Jon revealed he was "living in a cabin in the woods" to save money. During an interview with VH1's The Gossip Table, the former reality star says he's taken to a more private life after living in an apartment where paparazzi and others "figured out where I was."
"Jon has really hit rock bottom," a source close to Jon told the Enquirer. "Just a few years ago, he was jetting off to France to hobnob in St. Tropez, sipping champagne on a yacht. Now he's waiting tables at a pub! Working the weekday lunch shift, he can't possibly be taking home more than $40 or $50."
Last month, Kate opened up about her failed marriage, adding that her own diva-like behavior may have led to her current unemployed state.
"I made so many mistakes, of course," she told PEOPLE. "I'm living very carefully these days. To not have a reliable income is scary."
Kate and her brood of eight - twins Mady and Cara, 12, and sextuplets Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel, Leah and Aaden, 9 - appeared on their own TV series Jon and Kate Plus 8 and the spin-off Kate Plus 8 before TLC decided to end their show.
