He was born in Montreal, Quebec. Henderson was selected by Mavor Moore as the CBC Television's first regular national newsreader.

On one occasion he walked off the set when the film for a news story was not ready on cue. Henderson was born in Montreal and attended McGill University, where he studied music.
