He's also the first black man to land EGOT status, making history in more ways than one.
Legend also played the role of Jesus in NBC's production of the 1970 concept album-turned-Broadway musical, so he's also up for the Emmy for outstanding actor in a limited series or movie, which will be revealed at the big primetime Emmy Awards on Monday.
"Before tonight, only 12 people had won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competitive categories," wrote Legend on Instagram.
"Sirs Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice and I joined that group when we won an Emmy for our production of their legendary show Jesus Christ Superstar. So happy to be part of this team. So honored they trusted me to play Jesus Christ. So amazed to be in such rarefied air."
There are actually a total of 14 other EGOT recipients, including Audrey Hepburn, Scott Rudin, Mel Brooks. Two of these, Whoopi Goldberg and songwriter Robert Lopez, have won a daytime Emmy.
