TLC has announced next week's Jon & Kate Plus 8 broadcast will be a one-hour special featuring NBC News correspondent Natalie Morales interviewing Kate Gosselin and revealed the network will air the reality show's last five completed episodes in November.

Following "Kate: Her Story," TLC will air four additional original Jon & Kate Plus 8 episodes in November: "Top Moments," a one-hour episode that will air on November 9; "Gymnastics and Baseball" and "Never Before Seen," two half-hour episodes that will air back-to-back on November 16; and "It's a Crazy Life, But it's Our Life," a one-hour special that will air on November 23.
While "Top Moments" will be a clip show featuring footage from previous episodes and "Never Before Seen" will feature previously unseen footage from previous episodes, "Gymnastics and Baseball" and "It's a Crazy Life, But it's Our Life" will both document new events.
Earlier this month, TLC had confirmed estranged Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin's "epiphany"-fueled demand that the network stop filming his children had derailed its previously announced plan to begin featuring him on a "less regular basis" and re-brand the reality series Kate Plus 8 beginning November 2.
Instead, the network -- which agreed to the demand and has since filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Jon -- had confirmed Kate Plus 8's debut has been postponed indefinitely and the show's last original Jon & Kate Plus 8-titled episode would now air sometime in mid to late November.
However the network is now stopping short of calling the November 23 episode -- which borrows its title from the closing tagline of the show's opening theme -- Jon & Kate Plus 8's final episode.
"This is the last episode for which we have completed filming; we remain suspended," a TLC spokesperson told Reality TV World on Tuesday. "Right now there isn't anything beyond."
