The beleaguered talk show host lends her persona and brand, but not her voice, to the child heroine of a new cartoon, premiering Monday on HBO Max.

The “Ellen” scandal has gripped us in part because it’s so familiar: From “Larry Sanders” to “The Morning Show,” TV sees itself as an awful place to work.

“My Gramsy always says it’s raining cats and dogs, but what does that even mean, anyway? … It makes just as much sense to say it’s raining giraffes and naked mole rats. … Why not say it’s raining crayons and spatulas? And what’s the idea with umbrellas anyway?” She will also say “See what I did there?” and “Wow, tough crowd.”

While it is not exactly “Treme,” the series does not take its New Orleans setting for granted: The architectural details are right; there’s a streetcar in it; beignets are a recurring theme; there is jazz. The setting suggests that we are in some earlier time — an age of tube televisions and landline telephones, absent the modern tech with which its small-fry audience will already be familiar — without ever being specific.
