  The popular reality television show Jon and Kate Plus 8 debuted on TLC in 2007 and follows the Gosselin family, including twins born in 2000 and septuplets born in 2004. The show saw increased ratings in 2009 after Jon Gosselin was spotted without his wedding ring outside a bar late at night with Deanna Hummel.
