Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'chat' (a casual spoken conversation) with 'show' (a programme or performance): it denotes a programme made up of conversations. This noun–noun compounding follows common English patterns and similar concepts exist cross‑linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will very likely understand it.
Etymology
Chat show comes from a simple picture: chat (a short, friendly 'talk') and show (a programme for viewers). That's why a chat show means a TV or radio programme where well-known people have relaxed conversations or answer questions.
