The concept of a show where contestants have to phone random businesses for answers to quiz questions definitely sounds funny (at least, to me), but the shocking reality that random businesses over the phone just aren't that funny is perhaps the biggest takeaway from watching Hey Tracey. I don't think anyone would complain if there was a bit of production magic so that the people on the other side of the call weren't truly random, but were entertaining enough.
It's hard to see how else to improve the show, especially when it is so dependent on the interaction between a pretty good host and a mixed bag of 'celebrities'. I will say that it is bearable late night TV, but with a wealth of other options at your disposal on a 10pm Mondays, it is a show probably best tolerated on a particularly boring Sunday afternoon.
