Newman: Originally

Wasn't Newman an unseen, unemployed character who was going to commit suicide by jumping out of his apartment window?

Yes, and with a different voice. When Wayne Knight took over as the character for Newman, they taped his voice over the old one, so now we hear Newman threatening to jump instead of whoever did his voice originally.

Larry David was the original voice for Newman. They recorded Wayne Knight's voice over Larry's for that episode when he was cast.
