Henderson who retired in 2002
will attend the awards on April 7, with his wife Mardi, to accept the award.
He has not attended a Logies since 1968, the year he won his Gold Logie as host of Bandstand. “We don’t go to premieres and stuff like that, so I stayed away,” he said.
Since his retirement, Henderson has kept a low profile, though late last year he narrated a news documentary for Foxtel
Henderson said he would not return to the small screen, but did not rule out narrating another documentary.
“I look different now, I sound different. And what am I now? 81?” he said. “I have very fond memories but I wouldn’t even contemplate it. I went out around about the right time.”
The 55th annual TV Week Logie Awards will be held on Sunday, April 7, in Melbourne, and telecast on Channel Nine.
