Isn't Smokey Robinson still alive and likely playing your local tribal casino sometime in the next few weeks? Why not have him play instead of a tribute?

Not sure when it became a thing. The first EGOT got the status in the 60s

Oh yeah I know artist winning all those awards was a thing prior, I just dont recall anyone calling winning all 4 as an "EGOT" prior.

Was "EGOT" a thing prior to 30 Rock? I feel like I never heard that term prior to Tracy Jordan.

The EGOT acronym was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984, when his role on the new hit show Miami Vice brought him instant fame, and he stated a desire to achieve the EGOT within five years.[7][8] Thomas has never been nominated for any of the EGOT awards.

The term gained wider recognition in the early 2010s after a season-long arc in the 4th season of the sitcom 30 Rock featured the character of Tracy Jordan (portrayed by Tracy Morgan) setting out to achieve the EGOT.[9]

Fascinating, I love 30 rock but I never knew it had that kind of impact lol

And as expected the tribute to Christine McVie has me tears

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

These fans are not giving any god reasons on why their favorite should wins. Also was not expecting the Adele fan to be anything other then a mom, and I say that as an Adele fan

Thanks for the assist @avecigrec

“Thomas has never been nominated for any of the EGOT awards.”

This last bit of Wiki shade is why I’m here.

1. First time hearing a Harry Styles song, and I loved it!
2. While I admire Kim Petras tremendously, I did not love Unholy

Honestly his music is pretty solid, there is just something about him specifically that doesn’t click with me. The disconnect between what his music is and how he is marketed is just too weird for me

Totally agree with you, the chorus is cute but the song isn’t great

The Rap tribute was on point.

The Rap tribute was on point.

It was the jolt of life this show needed. Everyone from the performers to the audience were having a blast

I completely missed him. I rewound it when I saw him walk out at the end too.
