Five media franchises[1] have won all four major annual American entertainment awards in a competitive, individual (non-group) category of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards. Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, recording, film, and theater.[2] Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the "grand slam" of American show business.[3][4] The acronym EGOT was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas.[5][6][7]
