"EGOT" redirects here. For other uses, see EGOT (disambiguation).

EGOT, an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, is the designation given to people who have won all four of those awards.[1][2] Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, recording, film, and theatre.[3] Achieving the EGOT has been referred to as the "grand slam" of show business.[1][4] As of 2022, 17 people have accomplished this feat.[5]

The EGOT acronym was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984, when his role on the new hit show Miami Vice brought him instant fame, and he stated a desire to achieve the EGOT within five years.[6][7] Thomas has never been nominated for any of the EGOT awards.

The term gained wider recognition in the 2010s after a season-long arc in the 4th season of the sitcom 30 Rock featured the character of Tracy Jordan (portrayed by Tracy Morgan) setting out to achieve the EGOT.[8]

Variations

The only Double EGOT — a person who has won all four awards at least twice — is songwriter Robert Lopez, who is also the youngest person to achieve EGOT status, at 39 years, 8 days; and who won his first four awards in the shortest time (a span of 9 years, 8 months).

Another variation of the accomplishment is the PEGOT, though there are conflicting definitions. Some say the "P" refers to the Peabody Award,[9][10] others say the Pulitzer Prize. As of 2019, Mike Nichols, Rita Moreno and Barbra Streisand (if her Special Tony Award is considered) have achieved this status by winning the Peabody;[11] while Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch have achieved it by winning the Pulitzer.[12]

Another variation is the REGOT, which includes a Razzie.[13][14] Alan Menken has a REGOT due to his Razzie win with Jack Feldman for Worst Original Song for “High Times, Hard Times" from Newsies.[15] Due to her Razzie win for Worst Actress for Rent-a-Cop and Arthur 2: On the Rocks, Liza Minnelli has a REGOT if her Grammy Legend Award is considered.[16]

There is some debate over whether the "E" must be a Primetime Emmy Award, and not a Daytime Emmy nor any of the awards presented at the other types of Emmy ceremonies.[17] Three EGOT winners have won only the Daytime Emmy.
