Congratulations, John Legend!

Last night, John Legend — one of my faves, and I know I'm not the only one around here! — was awarded an Emmy for his work on Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, making him the first Black man to join the rarified ranks of EGOT winners: People who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award. WOOT!


Legend got awarded the Creative Arts Emmy as an executive producer of Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert alongside his production partners Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, which meant that all three of them simultaneously got the EGOT achievement. What a night!
