John Oliver satirized the city of [[Danbury, Connecticut]] on a broadcast that aired on August 16, 2020, by making fun of the general quaintness of the town, starting a feud with the town that would last a few weeks, involving the Mayor of Danbury [[Mark Boughton]], the city's hockey team called [[Danbury Hat Tricks]], and other various content creators in Danbury. The mayor of Danbury, in response, revealed that they would rename their sewer plant, which makes up more than 80% of their $127 million budget, the "John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant", saying "it's full of crap, just like you [John Oliver]". The mayor reneged on this statement later in the week, claiming it was a joke, but after John Oliver offered $55,000 to local charities on a broadcast that aired on August 30, 2020, in exchange for the sewage plant actually being named after him, Danbury accepted the offer.<ref>{{Cite news |last=France |first=Lisa Respers |date=August 24, 2020 |title=Connecticut mayor slaps back at John Oliver with sewage plant renaming announcement |url=https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/24/entertainment/danbury-john-oliver-trnd/index.html |url-status=live |work=CNN |language=en-US |access-date=October 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201017013733/https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/24/entertainment/danbury-john-oliver-trnd/index.html |archive-date=October 17, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Sblendorio |first=Peter |date=September 7, 2020 |title=Connecticut mayor agrees to name sewage plant after John Oliver under one condition |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-john-oliver-danbury-connecticut-20200907-jaoztka26jbjvhpwazloqc5ynq-story.html |url-status=live |website=New York Daily News |language=en-US |access-date=October 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029214547/https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-john-oliver-danbury-connecticut-20200907-jaoztka26jbjvhpwazloqc5ynq-story.html |archive-date=October 29, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Ramos |first=Dino-Day |date=September 6, 2020 |title=John Oliver Continues Friendly Feud With Danbury; City Mayor Retaliates With An Offer Full Of Sewage |url=https://deadline.com/2020/09/last-week-tonight-john-oliver-danbury-connecticut-mayor-mark-boughton-1234571935/ |url-status=live |website=Deadline |language=en-US |access-date=October 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201013125149/https://deadline.com/2020/09/last-week-tonight-john-oliver-danbury-connecticut-mayor-mark-boughton-1234571935/ |archive-date=October 13, 2020}}</ref> |
