Achieving an EGOT is one of the most exclusive honors an entertainer can receive, having won an award at the Emmys, the Grammys, the Oscars, and the Tonys; before the _Jesus Christ Superstar_ _Live_, there were only 13 entertainers who had won the coveted EGOT. While Legend, who’s the first black man to receive an EGOT, might also win big at the primetime Emmy awards next week for his nomination for his performance as Jesus in the live tv musical production, wife [Chrissy Teigen](http://time.com/4947946/chrissy-teigen-trolls-john-legend/) wasted no time in using Legend’s current win as an opportunity to [lovingly tease her husband.](http://time.com/4776490/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-trolling/) In an Instagram video post, Teigen ribbed her husband’s latest addition to his trophy wall by captioning the post with a lyric from the theme song to the children’s show _Arthur_, whose eponymous main character has often been compared to Legend. This isn’t the first time that Teigen has trolled Legend for his association to the cartoon aardvark; she’s used both Instagram and Twitter in the past to [remind Legend of just how much he resembles Arthur.](http://time.com/5318564/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-arthur-meme-trolling/) ## Transcript [00:00] John Legend has to make some room on his trophy [00:02] shelf because the 39 year old just became one of the [00:04] youngest recipients of the coveted EGOT. That's [00:07] Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony on Sunday night [00:09] upon taking home the trophy for Jesus Christ Superstar [00:11] Live in Concert, which won outstanding live variety [00:14] special at Sunday's Creative Arts Emmys. John not only [00:17] starred in NBC's special production, he also produced, [00:20] which made him eligible for the award. He shares the [00:22] honor with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, who [00:24] also completed their EGOTs on Sunday, making the [00:26] three men just the 13th, 14th, and 15th performers to [00:29] ever reach the milestone. Chrissy Tiegen shared a [00:32] photo of the three men with their awards, captioning it, [00:34] EGOT GOATs. The Emmy will join Legend's ten [00:37] Grammy awards and his Oscar for penning the 2015 [00:39] song, Glory, featured in Selma. He took home a Tony [00:42] in 2017 for co- producing the August Wilson play [00:44] Jitney. He has another chance to take home an Emmy, [00:47] he's nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Limited [00:49] Series or Movie for his role in Jesus Christ Superstar [00:52] which will be announced during the Primetime Emmy [00:54] Awards next weekend. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/"},"headline":"John Legend's EGOT Win Gave Chrissy Teigen the Perfect Chance to Lovingly Troll Him","datePublished":"2018-09-10T16:47:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T07:53:46.168Z","description":"As one does","url":"https://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1606b12d44a9fe9a/698939d2ab6d771eee6b3a12/chrissy-teigen-trolls-john-legend-for-egot.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1606b12d44a9fe9a/698939d2ab6d771eee6b3a12/chrissy-teigen-trolls-john-legend-for-egot.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 Creative Arts Emmy Awards - Day 2 - Press Room","caption":"2018 Creative Arts Emmy Awards - Day 2 - Press Room","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/","name":"John Legend's EGOT Win Gave Chrissy Teigen the Perfect Chance to Lovingly Troll Him"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"John Legend Becomes an EGOT as He Wins Emmy for Jesus Christ Superstar","description":"John Legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice all achieved EGOT status at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday for producing Jesus Christ Superstar Live.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/7KBYGKOk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-09-10T16:59:14.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/7KBYGKOk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/","duration":"PT55S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
