NEW YORK (AP) -- Regis Philbin has lost the "Best Regis" award yet again. And this time, it's personal: The winner is Philbin's infant grandson, William Xavier.

The 7-month-old bested Philbin for the honor at the announcement Thursday of the sixth annual Relly Awards - Philbin's version of the Emmys.

"He is cute, but does he REALLY deserve the Relly?" spouted the 77-year-old talk-show host, a loser for the fifth straight year, on "Live With Regis and Kelly."

The baby recently made his TV debut on "Live" when Philbin proudly showed him off to the audience.
