Comedian Tony Hendra helped John Belushi and Chevy Chase get their start, starred in “This Is Spinal Tap,” and wrote for and edited The National Lampoon. Last year, he published a best-selling memoir in which he revealed how a monk helped him with his struggles, including years of substance abuse. But in her new memoir, his daughter Jessica Hendra writes that he failed to address an important part of his past. According to Jessica, he sexually abused her. Jessica joins us to tell her side of the story, as recounted in How to Cook Your Daughter.
