Former SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE star JAY MOHR and his wife NIKKI COX are desperate to follow in the footsteps of broody actress ANGELINA JOLIE - if they can afford multiple children.
Mohr - father to young son Jackson with his ex-wife, former model Nicole Chamberlain - married American actress Cox in December 2006 following the couple’s 10-month engagement.
Mohr, 37, has made it clear he’s ready to settle down with the 29-year-old TV star and confirms he and Cox are "working on a baby".
But Cox admits the pair is afraid they may not have the monetary means to support such a large family.
She says, "We can’t wait to be blessed. We want as many children as we can hopefully and financially squeeze out." Mohr penned best selling book Gasping for Airtime: Two Years in the Trenches of Saturday Night Live in 2004 - centred on his tumultuous stint in the comedy sketch series during the 1993-1995 seasons. Impatient with his progression to become a full cast member, he left the show on bad terms.
The actor is currently starring in U.S. comedy series Project Gary, while Cox, most widely-known for her soap opera roles and appearances on hit U.S. TV show Las Vegas, is working as a spokesmodel for online gaming website Sportsbook.com.
Hollywood star Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt are currently expecting twins.
They already three adopted children together, and a biological daughter.

Singer CARNIE WILSON is the latest celebrity to pen her own memoir - uncovering details of her tumultuous past in an effort to come to terms with a lifelong struggle with her weight.
The Wilson-Phillips star, daughter of Beach Boy rocker Brian Wilson, underwent gastric bypass surgery in 1999 after expanding to a weight of 300 pounds (136 kilograms) on her five-foot-three-inch (1.61 meter) frame.
Qualified by doctors as morbidly obese, Wilson became an easy target for stand-up comics and a centrepiece among tabloid fodder - and now she’s turning inward to reveal details of lesbian affairs, her battle with drug and alcohol addiction and her rocky relationship with her famous father in the latest tome.
Forty-year-old Wilson, now a married mother to three-year-old daughter Lola, whittled down from a U.S. size 28 to a size six after shedding 152 pounds (68.9 kilograms) following the surgery.
The singer posed in Playboy in 2003 to show off her new figure - though she has since put some of her weight back on.
Wilson is set to collaborate with Chicago Sun Times’ newspaper journalist Cindy Pearlman on the new book.
In 2005, Wilson published a collection of family-style recipes in her cookbook To Serve With Love. She has also published 2003’s I’m Still Hungry, a follow-up to her 2001 autobiography Gut Feelings: From Fear and Despair to Health and Hope.

Property mogul DONALD TRUMP has sold one of his famed casinos to singer JIMMY BUFFET for $315 million (£157.5 million) - allowing the American singer to turn his MARGARITAVILLE fantasy into a real-life tropical oasis.
Buffett agreed to pay the large sum to Trump on Thursday (29May08) for the purchase of his Marina Hotel Casino, the poorest-performing of three the billionaire holds in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Trump originally asked for $500 million (£250million) for the 14-acre property - which features a 27-storey hotel with 728 guest rooms and a 79,000 square foot gambling mecca - but reduced the price after lengthy negotiations.
And 61-year-old crooner Buffet has already hatched plans to give the place a full face-lift, beginning with changing its name to his famous hit song, Margaritaville, once the deal is finalised at year’s end (08).
In the meantime, he is already getting plans underway to open the first Margaritaville casino for his company Coastal Marina LLC on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast in two years’ time (10).
The deal marks a truce between Trump and former friend Richard Fields, the head of Buffet’s company. The pair was engaged in a four-year legal battle after Trump accused Fields of cheating him out of developing casinos in Florida.
The real-estate mogul now plans to pour the funds into his two remaining Atlantic City casino-hotels: Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza.

LATEST: R&B singer SEAN LEVERT died in prison because he did not receive imminent medical care, his family has claimed.
The 39-year-old son of The O’Jays star Eddie Levert collapsed in his cell at Cuyahoga County Jail in Cleveland on 30 March (08).
He was taken to the local Lutheran Hospital, but was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
On Thursday (29May08), a coroner ruled he died of natural causes and it was revealed he suffered from heart disease and high blood sugar levels.
But Levert’s family attorney claims the sheriff’s department records show he wasn’t given alprazolam - a drug he was using - while in jail or seen by a doctor, which might have prevented his death.
Lawyers Daryl Dennie and David Malik, who represent Levert’s widow, Angela Lowe, tell AllHipHop.com, "They inventoried it and they never gave it to him.
He requested it during the time he was in jail.
"He was exhibiting classic signs of withdrawal. A doctor would have been able to recognise these problems. Had he been able to see one in that week’s time things could have been different." Levert had been serving a 22-month prison sentence for failing to pay $89,025 (£44,513) in child support to the mother of his kids at the time of his death.

LATEST: A forensic expert has verified the legitimacy of a sex tape at the centre of singer R. KELLY’s child pornography trial, insisting it was not a fake.
The troubled R&B star is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl and is currently standing trial on 14 counts of child pornography. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Kelly’s defence team has previously claimed the singer could have been digitally "morphed" into the video footage using special effects.
But, during his testimony at a Chicago, Illinois court on Thursday (29May08), FBI forensic video expert George Skaluae told the jury that after examining the film, he found it to show "real people in a real environment".
Skaluae went on to tell the court that he had previously been asked to look at the tape, after it had been retrieved by the Chicago Police Department in 2002.
He explained that he’d found the tape to be "a copy, several generations away from the original".
A number of hidden "switch points" indicated the tape had been duplicated at least three times, resulting in the deteriorated quality, he said.
Skaluae added that it would have been "very difficult and time consuming" for someone to digitally alter the tape to show Kelly in the footage.
He told the court: "If it is not done well then it is going to be detectable.
"Sometimes we look at effects in movies and laugh and say, ‘That doesn’t look too good’. Those may have taken months or years." Kelly has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography and maintains the man in the tape is not him. The alleged victim, now 23, has also denied she is the girl in the footage.
The trial continues.

LED ZEPPELIN star JIMMY PAGE owes his legendary bow and guitar sound to actor DAVID McCALLUM’s father.
The rocker admits the idea of play guitar with a violin bow was proposed to him in the studio by McCallum Sr, a classically trained violinist.
Page tells Rolling Stone magazine, "String players would keep to themselves, but this guy was quite friendly.
"He said to me one day… ‘Have you ever tried bowing the guitar?’ I said it wouldn’t work - the strings aren’t arched over the guitar, the way they are on a violin.
"He said, ‘Have a go.’ He gave me a bow. I tried it and realised there was something in it."
