Chrissy Teigen is gonna have to move her Revolve Award, because John Legend is officially a showbiz superstar.
The singer took home a Creative Arts Emmys award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on Sunday night, making him an EGOT winner!
The All of Me singer, who was an executive producer for the show, now joins the small group of stars who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award — and he’s the first black man to do so.
Others who have achieved this rare honor include Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn, and Mel Brooks. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, producers of the OG JCS, also joined this group after Sunday’s win.
Ever the supportive wife, Teigen recorded her husband placing his new award on their crowded trophy case, effectively completing his EGOT shelf. She posted on her Instagram:

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
