Even so, there were times when he was tabbed (there was one episode GSN showed where he was, and he seemed to be mouthing the words "No, never" to the celeb in the cubicle next to him [as if responding to a question about how often he's been the SS]).

I remember one nighttime show where he was actually the secret square two games in a row.

IIRC, once on the daytime version, George Foreman was the secret square the entire week. I don't recall how many times he was picked during the SS games.
