UPDATE, with explanation: A lot was riding on Steve Martin's near-superhuman ability to spit out a flawless, tongue-twisting patter song at key moments in the Broadway-themed season of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. Martin pulled it off, but the stakes aren't over: The song, "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?", was just nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics — and a win would finally award songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul with the EGOT laurel.

Below you can see Martin singing the song in the season 3 episode.
The second duo of songwriters featured on the song, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, have won plenty of Tonys and Grammys, but not the Oscar that would put them in contention for an EGOT award via an Emmy.
