Sunday’s Creative Arts Emmys saw the crowning of three new EGOT winners, with John Legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice becoming the latest to win the entertainment industry’s biggest four awards—an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. All three won their Emmys for NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar, Live in Concert, with Legend as producer and Lloyd Webber and Rice as composer and lyricist. Fifteen people can now claim the EGOT mantle and Legend is the first black man to achieve it. Legend said, “When I got into the music business it was a dream of mine to win Grammys and have plenty of success as a musician and sell lots of records and tour around the world as a performer, but I never had a dream of winning an EGOT. I didn’t even know what that was at the time.”
