Emmy. Grammy. Oscar. Tony.
Now that Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez have won Best Original Song for “Let It Go” from Frozen, Lopez has completed the ultimate Hollywood awards quad-fecta, immortalized on a 2009 episode of 30 Rock. Lopez has (daytime) Emmys for The Wonder Pets, a Grammy for The Book of Mormon album and Tony awards for Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon. He brings the grand total of people who have won all four major showbiz awards to an even dozen. (And the total number of all-time winners of “cutest husband-wife Oscars acceptance speech ever” to one.)

A few weeks ago, the pair spoke to TIME about the movie’s cult following — and, in a portion of the interview that did ‘t make it to print, what it would be like if Lopez made it to the ranks of EGOT winners. Here’s what they had to say:

What you don’t dream about is having a song like this that touches so many people. That’s been the biggest surprise and the biggest joy. We have our reward every day on YouTube.

Lopez: As for the EGOT thing, I love 30 Rock so I’m actually — if I could meet Tina Fey that would be even more special!
Who knows — by the time you read this, now that he has the EGOT, maybe his other wish will have come true too. And, if you forgot why he deserves it, here’s a reminder:
