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.'"
