South Philly sandwich czar/actor Tony Luke Jr. is getting into the TV game with Tony Luke's Eaglemania, a weekly, half-hour Philadelphia Eagles fan-friendly variety show.
The show will air at midnight (late Saturday, up against Saturday Night Live) on 6ABC, premiering Sept. 11. Shows will repeat a week later, at 1 a.m. Sunday.
Luke will be backed by a house band including Skip Denenberg and Back2Life, and the show will tape at the Troc in Chinatown. First taping will be Aug. 17.
Luke crossed the Eagles' radar during filming of the 2006 movie Invincible, based on the life of Eagles walk-on rookie Vince Papale. Luke played a goofy green-suited, green-caped aspiring Eagles player.
