John Legend made history this weekend when he won an Emmy for his role in the NBC musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. The singer now earned EGOT status: winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. 

He joins the ranks of Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks and Whoopi Goldberg, who is the first black woman to join the EGOT club.

Along with John, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice have also become members of EGOT. Together, they’re the 13th, 14th and 15th people in history to every earn all major awards. That’s pretty incredible!

Before tonight, only 12 people had won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competitive categories. Sirs Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice and I joined that group when we won an Emmy for our production of their legendary show Jesus Christ Superstar. So happy to be part of this team. So honored they trusted me to play Jesus Christ. So amazed to be in such rarefied air. #EGOT
