John Legend Just Achieved EGOT Status—So Chrissy Teigen Obviously Roasted Him
Chrissy Teigen loves to roast John Legend. She’s been doing it for years now. The Cravings author never misses an opportunity to throw some (playful) shade at her singer husband—and last night’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards was no exception. At the ceremony, Legend scooped up a trophy for his producing work on Jesus Chris Superstar Live in Concert—making him the youngest person and first black man to achieve EGOT status—which is an incredible feat. Obviously, Teigen was proud and posted accordingly on social media. “EGOT GOATS,” she captioned over a photo of Legend and his JCS teammates Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

She also put this sweet pic on Instagram and wrote, “My incredible man. What a surreal life.”
But it wasn’t before long that the roasting kicked in. Shortly after her nice congratulatory posts, Teigen uploaded a video to Instagram of Legend placing his Emmy on a shelf. That’s all well and good, but she captioned it, “And I say hey, what a wonderful kind of day,” a.k.a lyrics to the Arthur theme song.
Context: It’s been a long-running joke on the Internet that Legend looks like Arthur, something Teigen herself has indulged many, many times.
Seriously: Many times.
Teigen wrapped up her EGOT commentary with this video of Legend making pancakes in honor of his win. “What are you doing?” Teigen asks in the video. “Making EGOT pancakes,” he replies. “You got pancakes?” she says back, jokingly. And this is why the Internet is obsessed with them.
