Lee Mack was supported by his three children on Tuesday night as he accepted the Quiz Show award for the fourth consecutive year at the National Television Awards.
The 58-year-old comedian won the category for his series The 1% Club, beating Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win, Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, Richard Osman’s House of Games and The Chase.
Accepting the award, Mack pointed out his children Arlo, 21, Louie, 19, and Millie, 14, in the audience.
"My kids don't usually come to these things, but my kids, Arlo, Millie and Louie are here," he said. "See, Dad is not a useless cretin, you're wrong!"
He thanked the show's team, saying: "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."
He added: "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.
Jeremy Clarkson discusses cancer
Elsewhere in the ceremony, Jeremy Clarkson's Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm won the Reality Docuseries category, beating At Home With The Furys, Fletchers’ Family Farm, Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and Stacey & Joe.
The 66-year-old presenter made the shock revelation earlier this year that he was in remission from prostate cancer. Keeping his acceptance speech short and sweet, he later broke his silence on the illness at the winners' press conference.
"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," he said. "It was, it was just annoying because I missed a lot of the harvest time."
Traitors and Strictly wins
Alan Carr collected the Reality Competition prize for The Celebrity Traitors, which beat I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, I’m A Celebrity... South Africa, Race Across the World and the regular civilian series of The Traitors.
Taking to the stage for the second time after receiving this year's Special Recognition award earlier in the programme, Carr joked: "I bet you're sick of me."
He was joined by fellow contestant Charlotte Church, who jumped on the microphone to praise Carr alongside Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga for a moment of "male tenderness and emotion".
The BBC hit hosted by Claudia Winkleman dominated the nominees, with its regular civilian series also nominated.
