Strange looking sentence.. One American speaker told a man that the often use this structure, "What the city, please change it to Honolulu." It seems to me that is grammatically wrong. Do you really use this grammar?

I think that someone either misheard or misreported this conversation. No, that is not a common construction.

"What the city, please change it to Honolulu" does not make any sense to me. I can't figure out what it is supposed to mean, do you have more context?
