10. Mel Brooks - First: Emmy (1967) Fourth: Tony (2001) 34 years = 66 pts for Tahlvin
12. Tim Rice - First: Tony or Grammy (1980) Fourth: Emmy (2018) 38 years = 62 pts for akiva

Tracy Jordan - not an EGOT (Fictional as far as I can tell)
Oscar Hammerstein - not an EGOT (missing an Emmy)
Philip Michael Thomas - not an EGOT (though he is credited with coining the term...)
Elton John - not an EGOT (missing an EMMY)

Added hints: Professional categories.

John Williams,

But I'm not sure he's gotten TV stuff.

13. Mike Nichols - First: Grammy (1961) Fourth: Emmy (2001) 40 years = 60 pts for poorpete
Non-Competitive
2. Alan Menken - First: Oscar (1989) Fourth: Grammy (2012) Non-competitive: Emmy (Outstanding contribution to the success of the Academy's anti-drug special for children) 23 years = 38.5 pts for Tahlvin

Lorenz Hart - not an EGOT (missing multiple)
Carl Reiner - not an EGOT (missing multiple)
John Williams - not an EGOT (missing a Tony)

Added hint: Year completed.

Also, the order of the non-competitive professional categories was off the first time I did it. I got Menken in the wrong spot for some reason. (I think they are listed in different orders in different spots and the table I'm using doesn't have that info in it for that group...) Sorry about that! The list has the right order now... I think... I also refined one of the descriptions because, while the person is listed as an actor, he's really just as well known as a singer.

Probably wrong, but I can’t think of anyone else now: Patty Lupone.

Feel Angela Lansbury should have won all four, even if she hasn't.

Update: Dang it! she was nominated 17 times for an Emmy, including 11 years in a row for Murder She Wrote, and they won't even give her an honorary award? c'mon! Also she's 0/1 in Grammys, nominated for Beauty and the Beast. Give the lady her due!

Non-Competitive:
1. Barbra Streisand - First: Grammy (1964) Fourth Special Tony Award (1970) Non-competitive: Tony: Special Tony Award: Star of the Decade 6 years = 47 pts for Tahlvin

Cher - not an EGOT (missing a Tony)
Patty Lupone - not an EGOT (missing multiple)
Angela Lansbury - not an EGOT (detailed in poorpete's post - she deserves it! How could she NOT at least have an Emmy? That's almost as bad as Susan Lucci!)

Added clue: First Oscar

And with his second correct guess of a Non-Competitive EGOT, Tahlvin takes the lead! Not many remaining, but still a few that are fairly well known... and a couple that are not...
