1987

In the mid-80s Hendra decided to devote himself exclusively to writing and in 1987 published "Going Too Far" a history of 'sick' 'black' 'anti-establishment' American satire (aka "Boomer Humor") from the 1950s to the 1980s, which featured interviews of Boomer Humor's chief practitioners from Mort Sahl to Jules Feiffer to Second City, Nichols and May, Bob Newhart, Dick Gregory, George Carlin and many others including National Lampoon.

He co-conceived and wrote the English dubs of three of the films created by Belgian Animator Picha, including The Missing Link (1980), The Big Bang (1987), and Snow White: The Sequel (2007).

2004

In 2004, at the time that Father Joe was achieving best-seller status, Jessica Hendra, the younger of Hendra's two daughters from his first marriage, submitted an op-ed piece to The New York Times in which she asserted that her Father failed to include in his narrative of "deliverance through faith and atonement for his failings" that he had sexually abused her as a young child. The newspaper declined to publish the piece, but did assign a reporter, N. R. Kleinfield, to investigate her charges. On 1 July 2004, The Times published Kleinfield's story, including details of the alleged acts of molestation and interviews with two of Jessica's therapists, three friends, her mother, and her husband. All said that Jessica told them at different junctures of being molested—in her mother's case, when she was 12. A former boyfriend told Kleinfield, however, that Jessica never spoke of it during their years together, and that she was "very unstable emotionally"—adding, "I can't believe it happened." Hendra responded, "I can only just categorically deny this. It's not a new allegation. It's simply not true, I'm afraid."

2005

"I don't mean in any way to diminish the gravity of Jessica Hendra's charges," Okrent continued. "I can't imagine an accusation more serious, a transgression more detestable. If her story is true, Tony Hendra deserves punishment far greater than humiliation in the pages of The Times. As an Editor, the verities of the profession might have led me to publish this article. But as a reader, I wish The Times hadn't." In 2005, Jessica Hendra wrote a memoir with USA Today Journalist Blake Morrison, How to Cook Your Daughter, in which she repeated her accusations.
