Television and radio career

Henry began his broadcasting career as both a studio assistant and in the mail room. According to the Sunday Star Times, "David Attenborough will step in and Henry will play the rushes." Henry returned to New Zealand when he was 19 and worked as a producer on National Radio.

Henry served as a breakfast host on 2ZD Wairarapa from 1986 to 1990. Henry Henry left 2ZD to establish rival radio station Today FM in 1991, co-hosting the station's breakfast program. Hilary Pankhurst, Georgina Beyer, local identity Rick Long, and former 2ZD station manager John Shearer were among the many notable Today FM workers. Henry sold the station to the owner of Port FM in 1992.

Henry went on to be a foreign correspondent and weekend talkback host for Radio Pacific, before he began presenting Breakfast with Arch Tambakis and Pam Corkery. He also supervised the station's drive program, and he was the station's first drive host at Radio Live when the station was launched in 2005.

Henry said in an interview the next month that TVNZ, in particular chief executive Rick Ellis, had "capitalized" on television, encouraging him to be controversial on air, and that the New Zealand Government should apologise to India for his remarks.

Henry will return to Radio Live in July after replacing Maggie Barry as the station's drivetime host, a position he had not held four years ago. Henry moved to Australia the following year to host Network Ten's new morning program, but his time in the role will be short lived.

Henry moved to Sydney, Australia, in February 2012, to co-host Network Ten's morning show Breakfast. The show debuted on February 23, 2012, but not to strong audiences.

Henry's Breakfast was cancelled on November 30, 2012, after less than a year on air, due to low viewership. During Henry's broadcast period, one of Henry's co-hosts and the show's executive producer resigned, prompting rumors that the departures were due to tensions with Henry. Other members of the network resented Henry, according to a newspaper, many would not look at him when he walked into the room, and so they decided not to attend the Christmas party. Both Henry and the show's low ratings were regularly mocked by the comedy show The Hamster Wheel.

After Breakfast's cancellation, Henry returned to New Zealand. While in Australia, Henry continued to work in New Zealand media as an Australian correspondent for Radio Live and as the host of Will I Lie to You? On TV3, the characters were "on television3."

Henry departed Mediaworks in 2016 and announced that he would be embarking on "semi-retirement" during his time between New Zealand and the United States, as well as producing wine.

Following the effects of the coronavirus pandemic in New Zealand, MediaWorks revealed the launch of Rebuilding Paradise, a Henry-led series. In April 2020, the show lasted more than four weeks and featured live interviews in the country's reaction to COVID-19. This is Henry's first project since the reveal of his "semi-retirement" period.
