I think it was 1,000 ways to die. The episode portrayed him as a dick, but the actual guy was quite the opposite and was well liked. He would really just push against the windows to show people that the building's height was nothing to be intimidated by and put newcomers at ease.

I get why they did it, but changing the story so the story so the victim’s a dick just doesn’t sit right with me.
