Show: The Weekly Comet

Interview with “Dexter” Composer Daniel Licht

Co-hosts Tamara Conniff and Jonathan McHugh welcome “Dexter” composer Daniel Licht to The Comet Couch.

The seventh season of Showtime’s Emmy-winning series “Dexter” premiered to over 2.9 million viewers, making it the network’s number one telecast for the year.
