" Dax Shepard has joked that he wants his baby to inherit his &amp;quot;aquamarine&amp;quot; eyes. The Parenthood star and his partner Kristen Bell announced in November that they are expecting their first child together.  &amp;quot;I really do hope that the child looks identical to Kristen - a boy or a girl,&amp;quot; Shepard joked on Conan. &amp;quot;Even a boy, I pray that the son looks just like my wife.&amp;quot; However, the actor quipped that he would like his child to inherit his eyes, saying: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re unbelievable. They&amp;#039;re beautiful. They&amp;#039;re some of the best eyes in the business. &amp;quot;It goes Daniel Craig, Bradley Cooper and then Dax Shepard for prettiest eyes. So let&amp;#039;s just hope the baby gets those!&amp;quot; Shepard also admitted that it was strange seeing the news that he was expecting a baby on CNN at the same time as Obama was holding his final campaign rally.  &amp;quot;In the last minute of his campaigning, at the bottom you see that little banner [with the baby news],&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;My theory is that at CNN they decided that, &amp;#039;To be truly balanced, we must have both a really important news piece happening and then a completely useless, inane piece of news happening simultaneously&amp;#039;. And then you&amp;#039;ll walk away going, &amp;#039;That was very fair reporting&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Shepard added: &amp;quot;That was the most important thing happening in the country coupled with the least important thing. Let me just tell you - I never imagined that my name would be recognisable enough to put that banner out there. And when I thought about that, I thought I&amp;#039;d have a lot more money. You&amp;#039;d think that if you&amp;#039;re that known, you&amp;#039;d be rich. I&amp;#039;m basically like a serial killer - famous and broke.&amp;quot; Bell, who is due to give birth at the end of spring, recently hinted that she is expecting a baby boy.
