DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — Comedian John Oliver made a secret trip to Connecticut last week to help cut the ribbon on a sign naming a sewage treatment plant in his honor.
Danbury’s City Council voted earlier this month to rename the sewage plant “The John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant,” following a tongue-in-cheek battle that began with an expletive-filled rant against the city on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” in August.
Mayor Mark Boughton responded to the attack by posting a video of himself at the sewage plant saying the city was going to name it after Oliver “because it’s full of crap just like you, John.”

Wait. This isn’t the Babylon Bee?
To bad it really isn’t a Memorial Facility.
At least he had a good enough sense of humor to be there.
Hopefully Joe Biden will agree to let the Danbury Federal Prison get renamed after him!
LOL! Oops... didn’t see you here. Pinged you in #6.
Babylon Bee was my first thought, followed by the Onion.
You cannot make this stuff up. John Oliver is dead serious about the honor.
May he wear it well.
Mrs. Clinton was in the area, a while back, for a book signing.
I asked my pal what he thought about it. “She got off the highway at the wrong exit” was his reply ;)
Ed Norton is more deserving.
