Lee Mack was supported by his three rarely-seen children as he accepted the Quiz Show gong for the fourth consecutive year at the National Television Awards on Tuesday night.
The comedian, 58, and his show The 1% Club beat Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win,
Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, Richard Osman’s House of Games and The Chase.
Lee made reference to his three children; Arlo, 21, Louie, 19, and daughter Millie, 14, in his hilarious speech, with the camera then awkwardly panning to the trio.
He said: 'My kids don't usually come to these things, but my kids, Arlo, Millie and Louie are here.
'See - Dad is not a useless cretin, you're wrong!
'I have so many people to thank, the brains behind the operation Andy, because I'm just the eye-candy. I'd like to thank everyone at magnum media we're like a family, can't remember everyone's name. That kind of family.

'I want to thank my beautiful wife Tara, none of this would be possible without you and I want to thank my two ex-wives without whom this wouldn't be necessary.
'I don't really have ex-wives, I just like that gag.'
The 1% Club begins with 100 contestants, each starting with a stake of £1,000.
It starts with a question that 90% of the public got right and narrows all the way down to the final 1% question.
Meanwhile This Morning’s winning streak continued as Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard took home the award for Best Daytime show alongside Friday hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
Ahead of its revamp this year, Strictly Come Dancing also took home the gong for Best Talent Show, while the Celebrity Traitors won the Reality Competition category.
As Alan Carr accepted his second award of the night, after receiving this year’s Special Recognition earlier in the programme, he joked: 'I bet you're sick of me.'
The BBC hit, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, dominated the nominees, with its regular civilian series also nominated.

Fellow contestant Charlotte Church jumped on the microphone to praise Alan and Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga for a moment of 'male tenderness and emotion.
Elsewhere collecting the Reality Docuseries gong was Jeremy Clarkson's Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm.
The presenter made the shock revelation he was in remission from prostate cancer earlier this year.
Keeping his speech short and sweet, he later broke his silence on the illness during the winner's press conference.
The 66-year-old said: ‘I wasn't emotional; it was annoying. I had a heart thing, and I had a bit of cancer but I wasn't away really, it was two weeks.
‘It was, it was just annoying because I missed a lot of the harvest time.’
The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award was awarded to Michael McIntyre's Big Show - after it was presented by Paris Fury and her daughter Valencia, eight.
The cast of Mrs Brown’s Boys were ecstatic on hearing they had won Best Comedy Show, in what will be a boost to Brendan O’Carroll after he was forced to cancel this year’s festive specials after breaking his jaw.
Gogglebox, now in its 28th series, was awarded the Factual Entertainment gong, beating Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out.
This year's NTAs has proven to be historic even before the first winners were announced, as it features the first ever all-female shortlist for Drama Performance.
And it was Vicky McClure who came out on top, thanks to her role as volatile explosives officer Lana in Trigger Point.
I Fought the Law, led by Sheridan Smith, won this year’s New Drama gong after an impressive performance.
This year’s Authored Documentary gong was awarded to the BBC’s special Our Girls: The Southport Families.
