I believe the answer is:

rodeo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'godiva in a wild show' is the definition.
'rodeo' can be an answer for 'show' (rodeo is a kind of show). I'm not certain of the 'godiva in a wild' bit.

'sat with nothing on' is the wordplay.
'sat' becomes 'rode' (as in sitting on a horse).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'nothing on' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rode'+'o'='RODEO'

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "Cowboy riding contest" , "off, sometimes" , "Wild West contest" , "Exhibition of cowboy skills" , "display of cowboy skill" .)
