This study, with talk shows as a reference, examines the transition relevance place of turn-taking, the aspects of turn-taking in talk shows. Especially to clarify the conversational tactics used by talk show hosts in order to secure their place on the floor. This study divided the conversational tactics carried out by talk show hosts in order to gain their place on the floor into six categories. It is easier for a host, who has prior information about a guest, to gain the floor during questions and answer sessions. 'Transitioning' into another topic of conversation is usually done by the main host of a talk show. With the aid of prepared questionnaires, the main host introduces another topic and thereby gains the floor. 'Corrections' and ' additional explanations' are the means of gaining the floor by correcting or complementing an invalid remark of a guest. 'Expressions of sympathy' or 'negative responses' are the cases where a host shows emotional response to a guest's remark to gain the floor. Generally in talk shows, one gains the floor not by criticism but by supporting or sympathizing with another.
