The Untold Truth Of Peter Doocy

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Ahead of his major scoop with Robert O'Neill (the Navy SEAL who claimed to have fired the shot that killed Osama bin Laden), The Hill decided to lighten the mood a little and find out what makes Peter Doocy tick away from the world of serious news reporting. The conservative figure's get-to-know-me questionnaire from 2014 might seem a little predictable.

Doocy cited unfashionable chart-topping soft rockers Dave Matthews Band as his favorite musical outfit, the Oscar-winning epic "Forrest Gump" as his ultimate movie, and the clichéd "Did it hurt ... when you fell from heaven" as his go-to pick-up line. We can only assume that he didn't use the latter on his eventual wife Hillary Vaughn.

Elsewhere, Doocy opted for "interesting people" in relation to his favorite thing about Washington, D.C., (and New York Avenue's traffic cameras as his least favorite) and said he enjoyed a nap after his workdays were finished. Doocy likes to be where the action is, later telling Haute Living, "I always want to be where something interesting is happening and this job is the best way to do that." 

The Villanova University graduate threw The Hill a little bit of a curveball in his questionnaire. When asked what he'd choose as the theme song to his life, Doocy revealed that, thanks to a BuzzFeed quiz, he now knows it would be Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back."
