As of Sunday night, John Legend has officially joined an extremely elite group of entertainment icons by becoming, as wife Chrissy Teigen so eloquently put it, an “EGOT GOAT.”
John earned his EGOT — the label bestowed upon those talented few who have earned Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards throughout their careers — during Sunday’s Creative Arts Emmys, when he took home the Outstanding Variety Special trophy for his hand in producing NBC’s live version of Jesus Christ Superstar, in which he also played the titular role.
Prior to this win, John earned a Tony Award in 2017 for co-producing Jitney and an Oscar in 2015 for the song he wrote for Selma, along with the casual 10 Grammys he’s amassed as a musician.
With that Emmy, John became the first black man to officially EGOT, per the BBC.
He’s also the second-youngest person to achieve the honor: Robert Lopez, the mastermind behind the songs in Frozen and Coco, earned his EGOT just a few weeks after his 39th birthday, while John’s came a few months after turning 39.
do you all remember that one post where some genderist compared skull sexual dimorphism to the way that nazis would measure skulls and facial features to determine if people were part of an “”“inferior”“” race?
It’s really interesting how they compare real scientific conclusions reached through the scientific method to people trying to find evidence to support their preconceived notions. You know, it’s kind of like how genderists blindly believe that biological sex is a social construct despite the scientific evidence that supports its objective truth, but will pick and choose only the pieces of scientific evidence that even vaguely supports their claims. It’s almost like they’re operating on preconceived notions about what is true and deny any evidence that tells them they’re wrong. You know, kind of like how the phrenologists and eugenicists were trying to make all their findings fit their own hypotheses rather than let the evidence speak for itself.
