Kate Gosselin sat down with Meredith Vieira on Monday October 5, 2009 to discuss the most recent antics of her estranged husband Jon Gosselin, specifically the fact that he cleaned out their joint checking account over the weekend to the tune of $230,000.

For now TLC filming remains on hold.

Jon told Larry King that he is currently seeing a therapist. Might we suggest that he schedule another appointment very, very soon. We’re just saying…
