Peter Doocy is an American journalist who works for Fox News as a White House correspondent. Steve Doocy, the co-host of Fox & Friends, is his father.
Peter Doocy was born on July 21, 1987. He is the son of Steve Doocy, a news anchor at Fox News. His mother is Kate Gerrity, a former model and child actress who showed about ESPN style. Doocy attended Villanova University and worked as a contributor to "The Palestra," a partner site of Fox News during his time in college. He graduated from Villanova University with a Bachelor's Degree.
Doocy was thrust into the limelight when he asked John McCain a controversial question about Hillary Clinton and her drinking habits during the Hardball tour with Chris Matthews. The exact question that Doocy, still a Villanova student at the time, asked McCain was whether he thought Hillary Clinton "finally resorted to hitting the sauce because of unfavorable polling." That and one other question prompted his fellow host Matthews to joke, "We came here hoping for the best, and we got two of the most wise-ass questions." Shortly after that, his father congratulated him for his hard-hitting questions on "Fox & Friends." Unfortunately, the questions also prompted Keith Olbermann to name him one of the "Worst People in the World." Steve Doocy then attacked Olbermann, calling him "a guy who picks on people's children." Nevertheless, the interview would help launch Doocy into a successful and fruitful career.
Peter Doocy is known to keep his personal life private. At their family home in New Jersey, Doocy lives with his father, renown Fox News anchor Steve Doocy, his mother Kate Gerrity, and his two siblings, Sally and Mary.

When asked what his most embarrassing or memorable moment was when he replied, "Embarrassing? Fell into a hole on live TV during Superstorm Sandy coverage. Memorable? Like five minutes later, when the picture of me falling into the hole was on every website heard from a lot of old friends."
In 2009, Doocy joined his father at the Fox News network.
