Morphology
The meaning 'a program where people talk' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'talk' (a spoken exchange) with 'show' (a program or staged event). This noun+noun composition is a common, literal pattern found across languages and in English media vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Talk show comes from the simple idea of a talk and a show: a program on radio or TV where hosts and guests speak to each other. That's why it means 'a radio or TV program in which people, often famous guests, discuss topics or answer questions from the audience'.
