Kelly Ripa has hit back at the haters after sparking a heated discussion about a popular Thanksgiving dish, furiously telling them they 'don't have actual problems.'
The television host, 54, prompted outrage following Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark when she asked viewers at home whether they called the side dish 'stuffing' or 'dressing.'
While Kelly explained that the different parts of the country used different terms, it wasn't long before keyboard warriors corrected her, stating that 'stuffing' and 'dressing' are two different things.
And the furor continued to Tuesday's show, where Kelly addressed the backlash and told disgruntled viewers to 'get a life.'
'I mean, forget any political discourse,' she said.
'The real discourse are the people arguing about stuffing and dressing.'

Kelly continued: 'Basically, I'm going to say something: Get a life, honestly. Just get one. Calm down.
'If you're worried about this, then congratulations, you don't have actual problems.'
Many people refer to the bread and herb dish as 'stuffing' in the north of the country, but in the south it is often called 'dressing.'
However, many have claimed that the terminology varies depending on whether the dish was made inside or outside of the roasted bird.
'Same ingredients except stuffing is cooked in the bird and dressing is cooked in the oven in a baking dish,' one said on Instagram.
Echoing the same sentiment, another wrote: 'Stuffing is "stuffed" in the bird, dressing is baked in a casserole dish.'
A third added: 'I was always under the impression that stuffing was cooked inside the turkey and dressing was baked separately outside of the turkey.'
Elsewhere on Monday's show, Kelly's husband Mark Consuelos shamelessly flirted with her as she described how she threw out her neck.

Despite initially stating he was 'glad' not to have been involved in how she got hurt, he quickly changed his mind after she detailed exactly how she tweaked her neck.
'I did it to myself, to be clear,' she told the studio audience, before stating that the injury did not happen due to 'an old age thing, where you sneeze and you throw out your neck or you hang up your coat and you throw out your neck.'
The talk show host explained that she threw out her neck doing a 'fairly advanced' Pilates move that she had never done before.
'It's an ab exercise,' she revealed.
'So, your arms are down, and you roll your feet back, and then you slowly bring your legs down.'
As Kelly described how she threw out her neck, her longtime spouse, who she wed back in 1996, couldn't help but make a risqué joke about how she got injured

Kelly added that she ended up hurting herself after throwing her 'legs over with too much ferocity' and nearly flipping 'all the way back off the machine.'
After hearing this, Mark, who wed Kelly in 1996, couldn't help but make a risqué joke about how she got injured.
He mused: 'On second thought, maybe I wish I was involved in that. The way you're describing this move. This move is fascinating to me.'
He went on to suggest they try the move this weekend.
'I did it with too much zeal because part of my personality disorder is that I think I'm an expert immediately after I try something once,' she said as she brushed off her husband's flirting.
