EGOT, an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major American performing art awards.[1][2] Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, audio recording, film, and Broadway theatre.[3] Achieving the EGOT has been referred to as the "grand slam" of American show business.[1][4] Twenty-one people have achieved competitive EGOT status and six others have done so with honorary or special awards.[5] In 2018, Robert Lopez became the first and currently only double EGOT winner.[6] Five competitive and one non-competitive EGOT holder have been dubbed PEGOTs, for additionally having received either a Peabody Award (4) or Pulitzer Prize (2).
