I'm not sure I really understand John Oliver's "war" with the city of Danbury, Connecticut and I'm also not sure there's a rational reason. But if you've been following the matter, you're probably quite pleased that it looks like the town's sewage plant will indeed be renamed The John Oliver Memorial Sewage Plant as he wishes.
The mayor of Danbury has accepted his offer on the condition that Oliver shows up for the ribbon-cutting…and why on Earth would the star of Last Week Tonight on HBO not do that? Oliver knows the value of publicity and the need to "pay off" a joke.
Frankly, if I'd had any influence with the mayor, I'd have added one more condition: That Oliver stop taking so many Sundays off. He's currently off until the 27th and I'm going to really miss him.
