Hasten to add??
Hi, there.
I'm reading this book "How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere" written by Larry King and I can't figure out some expressions.
First of all, "hasten to add".
"..
You can talk out loud to yourself around your house or apartment. I do. Not often, I hasten to add, but sometimes.
.. "
In this paragraph, What "hasten to add" means?
And secondly,
"..
I respect everyone on my shows-from presidents and Hall of Fame athletes to Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy of the Muppets, and yes, I've had them on too.
.. "
"I've had them on" ?? From the context, I guess this expression means "I was on the air with them" , right?? But, I'm not so sure.
Please help me to understand more about the thinking of the writer.
Thanks in advance,
Marty.
