From 2013 to 2017 VOX broadcast the cooking show Grill den Henssler with Henssler as the challenger of three celebrities coached by professional chefs . The television format was a revision of the cooking arena concept .

In 2014, Henssler switched to RTL. There he took over the program Der Restauranttester from Christian Rach . Furthermore, RTL has been broadcasting the Henssler cooking show behind bars since July 2014 . This led to controversies, reports and discussions in the run-up to the broadcast. The LKA Lower Saxony and the victim protection association Weißer Ring criticized the program because, among other things, one of the convicted criminals of the sevenfold murder in Sittensen (2007) appeared as a candidate on the show and thus the perpetrators were given a public platform.

From September 2017 to September 2018, Henssler was on the Munich private broadcaster ProSieben in the Saturday evening show Schlag den Henssler , which was previously broadcast at regular intervals under the name Schlag den Raab or Schlag den Star .

Since February 10, 2020 he has been moderating the cooking show Henssler's Countdown - Cooking at the Limit on RTL.
