Fifteen people have won all four major American annual Entertainment Awards in a competitive, individual (non-group) category of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT) Awards. This is referred to as the "Grand Slam" of American Show Business. In addition, six others have one all four with one of the awards being a non-competitive award. (Like a life-time achievement award or something like that.) Can you name them?

How do the points work? I decided to use the number of years needed to complete the slam as the metric for points, so, to start, each correct guess will get points based on the number of years to complete subtracted by 100 for the true EGOT winners and divided by 2 for the EGOT Light winners.

This is based on the list on Wikipedia. As always, looking things up is not good form...

EGOT
1. Robert Lopez - First: Tony (2004) Fourth: Oscar (2014) 10 years = 90 pts (poorpete)
2. John Legend - First: Grammy (2006) Fourth: Emmy (2018) 12 years = 88 pts (akiva)
3. Rita Moreno - First: Oscar (1961) Fourth: Emmy (1977) 16 years = 84 pts (Tahlvin)
4. Richard Rodgers - First: Oscar (1945) Fourth: Emmy (1977) 17 years = 83 pts (Eliahad)
5. Whoopie Goldberg - First: Grammy (1986) Fourth: Emmy or Tony, whichever comes first (2002) 17 years = 83 pts (Kyle)
6. Jonathan Tunick - First: Oscar (1977) Fourth Tony (1997) 20 years = 80 pts UNCLAIMED
7. Marvin Hamlish - First: Oscar (1973) Fourth: Emmy (1995) 23 years = 77 pts (poorpete)
8. Scott Rudin - First: Emmy (1967) Fourth: Tony (2001) 34 years = 66 pts UNCLAIMED
