Doocy is the eldest child ofSteve Doocy and Kathy (Gerrity) Doocy.[4] His father is a host on the morning showFox & Friends.[4]
He graduated fromVillanova University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 2009.[5] While in college, he contributed to Fox News as a Palestra.net reporter.[6]
Doocy was hired by Fox News in 2009 after graduating from college; he spent time in New York and Chicago before relocating to Washington, D.C., in 2010.[4][7]
In 2014, Doocy obtained an exclusive TV interview with former Navy SEALRobert J. O'Neill, who claims to have fired the shot thatkilled Osama bin Laden.[4] That special reportedly had the highest ratings of any documentary in Fox News history.[8]
In October 2017, Doocy asked SenatorJohn McCain (R-AZ) whether his relationship withPresident Trump had frayed to the point McCain would reject anything Trump might ask him to support. McCain replied that the question was "stupid", and reiterated that his role as a US senator was to represent his constituents, not to let personal disagreements interfere with that purpose.[9][10]
After covering aWhite HouseEast Room meeting focused on economic competitiveness and inflation, a departing Doocy called out to Biden: "Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?" Lowering his voice, and turning slightly away from thehot mic beneath him; as ABC reported, "Biden responded with sarcasm, 'It's a great asset — more inflation.' Then he shook his head and added, 'What a stupid son of a bitch.'"[14] Some sources have speculated about whether or not Biden intended to have his comments picked up by the microphone.[15] Biden called Doocy within an hour to clear the air.[16] According to Doocy, Biden said, "It's nothing personal, pal."[17]
In February 2024, Doocy asked President Biden, "How bad is your memory? Can you continue as president?" Biden replied, "My memory is so bad that I let you speak."[18] This was aftera report describing Biden's memory as "poor" was released.[19][20]
On June 17, 2024, Fox News announced it had promoted Doocy to the role of senior White House correspondent.[21]
In September 2025, it was announced that Doocy would helm a new show calledThe Sunday Briefing as an alternating co-host alongside fellow White House CorrespondentJacqui Heinrich beginning on September 21, 2025.[22]
