TLC may have put “Kate Plus 8” on hiatus, but the cable network is still milking the controversy over their break-up with a new special “Kate: Her Story.”

Newly single mom Kate Gosselin of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” will give, what TLC says, is “her most intimate interview to date” to Natalie Morales of NBC’s “Today.”

The hourlong program is set to debut at 9 p.m. Monday on TLC. The special is produced by NBC’s Peacock Productions so look for a “Today” show plug.

This follows another TLC special that aired on Monday (Oct. 26) “Kate Answers Your Questions” during which the 34-year-old future divorcée sat in an armchair and quipped her way through a Q&A session with fans.

But wait, there’s more: Jon and Kate Gosselin may be divorcing, but TLC has more specials planned for the November sweeps:

Nov. 9: “Jon & Kate Plus 8: Top Moments,” 9 to 10 p.m., looks back over better times.

Nov. 16: “Jon & Kate Plus 8: Gymnastics and Baseball,” at 9 p.m. and “Jon & Kate Plus 8: Never Before Seen,” at 9:30 p.m. Both feature clips from the past.

Nov. 23: “Jon & Kate Plus 8: It’s a Crazy Life, But It’s Our Life,” from 9 to 10 p.m., may be more looking back than viewers can stand.
