Larry Henderson (September 4, 1917 – November 26, 2006) was the first regular newsreader on the CBC Television's The National News, later rebranded as The National, from 1954 to 1959. He was born in Montreal, Quebec. Henderson was known for his temper and would swear on the air or make his reading unintelligibly fast when signalled by the director to speed up. On one occasion he walked off the set when the film for a news story was not ready on cue. Henderson died in his sleep on Monday, November 26, 2006 at his home in London, Ontario.
