He has already received a Grammy Award for Best Speech Album for his memoir disc.
Former US President Barack Obama won TV’s most respected Emmy Award for Outstanding Narrator for his voice-over work on the Netflix documentary series Our Great National Parks. This is reported on the award website.
Obama competed for the award with TV presenter David Attenborough, former basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, actress Lupita Nyong’o and comedian Walter Kamau Bell.

Note that Obama is not the first American president to receive an Emmy. In 1956, the 34th President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower, was awarded a special televised award.
In 2008, Obama received a Grammy Award for Best Speech Album for his memoir disc. Therefore, as the AP points out, the former president is already in the middle of becoming an unofficial EGOT – the term means all four of the major US entertainment arts awards (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).
In 2009, Obama also received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and people-to-people cooperation.
Earlier it was reported that the first volume of Obama’s book A Promised Land (Promised Land) on the first day of sales set a record. 887 thousand copies of the book are sold per day in the USA and Canada.
