Move over, Tracy Jordan. Some dude named Clooney's horning in on your turf.

George Clooney has moved one step closer to his EGOT now that it's been announced he'll pick up a special Emmy to bookend his Oscar.

He'll receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the Aug. 29 Emmy ceremony, honoring his good deeds on behalf of victims of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tsunami, Haiti earthquake and the Darfur genocide.

Clooney was nominated twice for Lead Actor for ER but never took home a statuette.
