I'm sure everyone remembers the epic Danbury Sewage Plant feud between HBO's Last Week Tonight host John Oliver and former Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton.

It was definitely a feud that captured the imagination of people all over the state of Connecticut and the country, and especially for the people in Danbury. After a number of weeks where the two, Mayor Mark and John Oliver, went back and forth, it was finally settled that the city would name the sewage plant after John Oliver. In return, the HBO host made a very generous charitable donation to the city.

The sewage plant was the best, Fallon interjected.
