This is a list of people who have won all four major annual American entertainment awards, the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.[1] Such an achievement is called an EGOT—an acronym built from the initial letters of the awards.[2] These awards honor outstanding achievements in, respectively, television, music or other audio recording, film, and theater.[3] Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the Grand Slam of show business.[4][5] GATE (Grammy, Academy, Tony, Emmy) is a similar acronym.[6] The acronym EGOT was invented by actor Philip Michael Thomas and was used as a plot device in several episodes of the TV series 30 Rock.[7][8]
Four awards
To date, ten artists have won all four awards in competitive categories. They are: actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg; composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, and Jonathan Tunick; and directors Mel Brooks and Mike Nichols.[3] Two of these artists, Rodgers and Hamlisch, also won the Pulitzer Prize. Two more artists, Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand, also won all four awards, though their awards were not exclusively competitive.[3] The 10 artists who won competitive awards are listed below in chronological order by the date that they won the fourth award. They are followed chronologically by the two artists whose awards were not exclusively competitive, but also included special or honorary awards.

In pop culture
- In 30 Rock Season Four, Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan), sets out on a quest to win the "EGOT". This quest begins when he sees a necklace saying EGOT in a jewelry store in the episode "Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001". He buys the necklace and wears it every time he decides to pursue one of the awards. His purpose in winning the EGOT is to convince his wife (played by Sherri Shepherd) to have another child with him (as he wants a baby girl). In this same episode, Tracy meets with Whoopi Goldberg to discuss her EGOT. This conversation includes a reference to the debate over Goldberg's inclusion in the list of EGOT winners because she has only won Daytime Emmys and no Primetime Emmys. He attempts to steal Goldberg's awards after their conversation. Tracy again references his EGOT in the episode, "Future Husband" when he makes his attempt at winning a Tony Award, which fails because he is a spontaneous actor and is thus unable to meet the Tony requirement of a performance repeated a minimum of eight times. He also makes a bid for an Oscar in the episode "Emanuelle Goes to Dinosaur Land", abandoning a role as Garfield for a more serious, Oscar worthy role, in a film about his childhood neighborhood. He returns to his childhood home (now a copying store) to get more in touch with his roots to prepare for the role. In "Double Edged Sword", Tracy wins the Oscar for this role. The episode also states that he is now an EGOTer, although the circumstances of the other three awards are not explained.
