Chrissy Teigen couldn't resist the 'Arthur' jokes after John Legend won his Emmy
The Creative Arts Emmys are one night a year, but Arthur memes are forever.
On Sunday, John Legend took home an Emmy for his performance in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, meaning he's an EGOT now — but that didn't stop his wife Chrissy Teigen from gently trolling him.
Legend is the first African-American man to become an EGOT — the acronym used for an Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar, and Tony winner — according to Buzzfeed.
Following her husband's historic win, Teigen shared celebratory posts on Twitter and Instagram...and slipped in an Arthur joke.
"And I say hey, what a wonderful kind of day," Teigen captioned an Instagram post of Legend placing his Emmy on a wall of trophies late Sunday night. The caption is a lyric from the children's show's theme song.
Teigen frequently jokes that John has a strong resemblance to the cartoon's main character Arthur, and it's become a running joke between them.

Arthur jokes aside, it's clear Teigen's just as ecstatic about his win as he is. She posted a photo of Legend alongside fellow EGOT artists, lyricist Tim Rice and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, and captioned it, "EGOT GOATS."
Congrats on that EGOT, John.
