\n\tSchmigadoon<\/a>! officially made Apple TV<\/a> an EGOT<\/a> at Sunday\u2019s Tony Awards<\/a>, crowning the achievement by winning Best Musical.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show led the field with 12 nominations and came away with four wins, including Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations along with the night\u2019s big prize.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think I should start by thanking Apple TV for canceling the third season of Schmigadoon the TV show because without them we couldn\u2019t have picked it up and ran with it,\u201d producer Christine Schwarzman said in accepting the Best Musical statuette.<\/p>\n

\n\tLorne Michaels, also a producer, said backstage that the show had \u201cgone through many iterations, but I think this is the best version of it ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile its run as a streaming series, as Schwarzman noted, was cut short, Schmigadoon won one Emmy and was nominated seven times. Its lone win came in 2022 for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the song \u201cCorn Puddin\u2019.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tApple TV\u2019s first step toward the EGOT milestone began in 2020 with Billy Crudup\u2019s Emmy win for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for\u00a0The Morning Show. A little less than two years later, CODA won three Oscars, including Best Picture. The Grammy fell into place in February of this year, with Chris Stapleton\u2019s song \u201cBad As I Used to Be,\u201d from the film\u00a0F1, capturing Best Country Solo Performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tTed Lasso and The Studio have also burnished the tech giant\u2019s Emmy trophy shelf, taking home Best Comedy Series trophies.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feat for Apple TV required about half the time that it took Netflix<\/a> to reach the milestone. Netflix completed the circuit in 2025 with a Tony win for Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Apple TV launched in November 2019, meaning it accomplished the EGOT feat in about six-and-a-half years, while Netflix took about 12 years from the time its original series became eligible for Emmys. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe streamer-vs.-streamer EGOT battle is one unofficial category being tracked by awardsmeisters, but media heavyweights like Disney and Time Warner have racked up wins across the four major awards over the decades. The technicality comes in with the timing of the wins. Music labels, for example, have been separate from the rest of media companies\u2019 portfolios in recent years.<\/p>\n
