Comedian John Oliver's On Hand As Danbury Dedicates Sewage Plant In His Honor Comedian John Oliver's On Hand As Danbury Dedicates Sewage Plant In His Honor
Comedian John Oliver's On Hand As Danbury Dedicates Sewage Plant In His Honor The tongue-in-cheek, back-and-forth banter between Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton and HBO’s John Oliver has come to an end as the comedian took the trip to celebrate the naming of the city’s sewer plant after him.
