Peter Doocy (born July 21, 1987[1]) is a general assignment reporter for Fox News and the son of fellow Fox News anchor Steve Doocy.[2]

Education

Doocy graduated from Villanova University with a B.A. and contributed to Fox News as a Palestra (Pennsylvania sports arena) reporter while in college.[3][4]

Career

Doocy began in New York City in 2009 as a general assignment reporter for Fox News Channel. He has covered a variety of stories that include former vice president Dick Cheney's heart transplant surgery in March 2012, the floods in the Midwest in 2011, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. He also reported on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.[4][5] Doocy regularly reports from Capitol Hill and the White House.

Doocy obtained the exclusive TV interview with the man who killed Osama bin Laden, former Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill. That special reportedly had the highest ratings of any documentary in Fox News Channel history.[6]

Starting in 2015, Fox has assigned Doocy on occasion as a substitute on his father's show, Fox & Friends.

On October 18, 2017, Doocy asked U.S. Senator John McCain: “has your relationship with the president frayed to the point that you are not going to support anything that he comes to you and asks for?” McCain, who two nights earlier gave a speech in Philadelphia where the National Constitution Center honored him with the prestigious Liberty Medal berated Doocy for his question: “Why would you say something that stupid? Why would you ask something that dumb? Huh? My job as a United States senator, is a senator from Arizona, which I was just reelected to. You mean that I am somehow going to behave in a way that I’m going to block everything because of some personal disagreement? That’s a dumb question.” [7]
