ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Talk show

A talk show is like a really fun conversation with your friends, but instead of it being just you and your buddies, there is a person on stage, sitting on a big comfy chair, talking to another person who is asking them questions. They might talk about all sorts of things like what they do for a job, their favorite hobbies, or exciting things that have happened to them.

Other people get to watch this conversation because it is on TV or the internet. Sometimes, there are even audience members who get to listen and watch live!

Talk shows are a great way to learn about interesting people, have fun, and hear about things you might not have known about before. So, the next time you see a talk show on TV or the internet, you can sit down with your popcorn and enjoy the sweet, sweet conversations.
