World Series bet to be settled on national TV

NBC10’s Terry Ruggles will settle up his World Series bet with the Today show's Matt Lauer on Friday (11/6).

Ruggles bet Tony Luke's cheesesteaks to Lauer's hot dogs from Nathan's.

Tony Luke III will cook a dozen around 3 a.m., and Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp.'s intrepid Cara Schneider will run the sandwiches up the New Jersey Turnpike to hand-deliver them to the Today crew at 30 Rock.

Ruggles and Lauer will talk up the bet at some point on the Today show.

(Lauer spent about five minutes at WCAU back in the late 1980s, well before Tony Luke's got into business.)
