American PeopleTV PresentersAmerican MenVillanova UniversityTall Celebrities Childhood & Early LifePeter was born on July 21, 1987, in the US, to Steve Doocy and Kathy Gerrity. He has two sisters named Sally and Mary.Peter attended 'Villanova University,' and while pursuing his bachelor’s degree in political science, he interned as a ‘Palestra’ (a Pennsylvania sports arena) reporter for 'Fox News.'Peter’s parents were initially apprehensive about him joining 'Fox' soon after graduating from 'Villanova.'

Peter revealed that he had spoken to people who were well aware of Obama’s résumé.
