Canadian word of the day: Bunny Hug
"I am in love with poutine" — Jayma Mays
Kelly starts out by noting her producer says Jayma Mays had fallen in love with Canadian French fries. Ripa, co-host Chris Harrison, and Mays eat from a large bowl of poutine. "It is heaven on a plate," said Mays. "It's heaven in a bowl."
"That is incredible," Ripa said after she tried it.
Mays had not been to Banff, but her husband has gone swimming. The couple had worked together in Vancouver.
Caroline Rhea was introduced as "Canadian royalty." Now you had a segment earlier in the show on poutine. You have a guest from Montréal, home of poutine. And they don't ask Rhea about poutine.
Rhea noted that she flew in from Vancouver where she was filming a movie with David Hasselhoff. At the end of the segment, Rhea ended, "I want everyone in Canada to follow me on Twitter because they are coming for our oil and I want you to know."
The second show started out with the Calgary Fiddlers. Ripa and Harrison showed pictures of Marilyn Monroe in Banff in 1953.
Yasmine, Betty Jo, Colleen, and Cheryl introduced the Canadian word of the day: Bunny Hug. A bunny hug is a hooded sweatshirt. The lovely ladies were adorned in bunny hugs. As Kelly mentioned yesterday's word, toque, she mispronounced toque as "toke," as in "one toke over the line."

The outdoor adventure was Live's producer Michael Gelman doing cat skiing. Everyone had fun with the idea of cats skiing. Unfortunately for the segment, cats skiing would have been more interesting.
The terrain is clearly pretty, but with a lot of it covered by snow, they could have been anywhere. Early in the segment, they did note that they were going from 8,000 ft. to 9,000 ft. The significant altitude is the one element that has been missing from the coverage.
