chat shows
Hosted conversation broadcasts
Chat shows are television or radio programs featuring a host who conducts informal conversations with guests—typically celebrities, authors, or public figures.
The format combines interviews with entertainment: jokes, musical performances, audience participation.
The term is more common in British English; Americans usually say talk shows.
