John Oliver got a taste of his own medicine, and it appears that he won’t be heading to Connecticut anytime soon.

During a recent episode of Last Week Tonight, the 43-year-old late-night talker had some choice words in regards to Danbury, Connecticut.

On the episode that aired on Aug. 15, Oliver discussed jury selection and the racial disparities associated with it. While talking about the subject, he referred to Danbury and ranted about it for quite some time.

The host said: "I know exactly three things about Danbury.”

"USA Today ranked it the second-best city to live in in 2015, it was once the center of the American hat industry and if you're from there, you have a standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver."

This is not where it ended — Oliver also used some harsh language while describing the city.

Most of the comments on the post were in agreement with the mayor. One user wrote: “Well done Mayor Mark Boughton in renaming your Sewer Plant as a way to answer your cities critic. Looking at your City online, it shows your City as a really nice place of interest and I bet a great place too live. I bet there will be a few people from the United Kingdom who will pay your fine city a visit.”

“The ‘John Oliver Memorial S--t Plant’. That is epic! Mayor Mark deserves a mike drop! ??” wrote another.
