Former U.S. President Barrack Obama has won an Emmy Award to go with his two Grammys

Obama won the best narrator award for his work on the Netflix series, “Our Great National Parks.”

It’s a five-part documentary series, which takes viewers on a journey around the world.

The series is produced by the former president and his wife Michelle Obama.

The win makes Barack the second president to have an Emmy after Dwight Eisenhower’s victory in 1956.

Obama previously won Grammy Awards for his audiobooks.

It means he is well on his way to becoming an EGOT, which is the famous combination of an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.

Only 17 people have received one of these honours.
