On December 13, 1977, Henning appeared as a guest on ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]''. While Henning performed illusions and chatted with host [[Johnny Carson]] and his other guests, he also plugged his new book on Houdini and announced his impending marriage to [[Barbara De Angelis]].

In 1979, Henning appeared on ''The Crystal Gayle Special'', a variety program starring singer [[Crystal Gayle]] and featuring, along with Henning, [[B.B. King]] and [[the Statler Brothers]]. In 1980, Henning appeared on ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', where he performed several tricks. He demonstrated [[chink-a-chink]] for Scooter, did a flying handkerchief trick for [[Kermit the Frog]]'s nephew Robin, segmented a Muppet monster into four pieces (and put him together wrong), and performed The Metamorphosis. In December, Henning appeared on ''The [[Osmond Family]] Christmas Special'', starring the popular brother/sister act [[Donny Osmond|Donny]] and [[Marie Osmond]], as a guest with such entertainers as [[Peggy Fleming]] and [[Greg Evigan]], at the time star of NBC's ''[[B. J. and the Bear]]''.

On February 13, 1981, Henning made his seventh appearance on ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson''. This show marked the first time that Henning was Carson's first guest.

A version of ''The Magic Show'' was mounted in [[Toronto]] at the [[Queen Elizabeth Theatre]]. The purpose of this show was to film in front of a live audience of several thousand people for broadcast on [[CBC Television]]. Henning came back to the show that had made him a star, and many changes were made for this new production. Most of the cast was changed, including the role of Cal, now performed by [[Didi Conn]]. Some script changes were made (the night club was now known as "Chez Manny" and the older, drunk magician was now named "Van Zyskin"). Some of the songs in the Broadway version were also changed (such as the risqué lyrics of Charmin's lament), or replaced totally, such as the song "Solid Silver Platform Shoes" (the once popular shoe style, by then out of fashion), which was replaced with "It's Gonna Take a Magician". The film version of the production was only aired once on Canadian television, but released on DVD decades later.

Henning was featured in television commercials during 1984 to promote the [[Plymouth Voyager]] [[minivan]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Oosting |first=Jonathan |date=2011-02-12 |title= Video of the Day: Long before Eminem and Detroit, Chrysler made ad magic for minivans |url=https://www.mlive.com/auto/2011/02/video_of_the_day_long_before_e.html |access-date=2023-03-02 |website=mlive |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date= 2017-10-22 |title=Experience The Magic Of The Plymouth Voyager |url=https://jalopnik.com/experience-the-magic-of-the-plymouth-voyager-1819749336 |access-date=2023-03-02 |website=Jalopnik.com |language=en}}</ref>
