(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — After he received an Emmy Award Saturday night, former President Barack Obama is halfway to an EGOT.
That’s Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
The former president won the Emmy for his work narrating the Netflix documentary series, “Our Great National Parks.”
The five-part series featured national parks from across the globe, and it was produced by Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company Higher Ground.
Obama previously won two Grammys for audiobook recordings of his two memoirs.
Obama is only the second president to receive an Emmy, though, as Dwight D. Eisenhower received a special Emmy Award in 1956.
