In 2013, Maher became one of the executive producers for the HBO newsmagazine series "Vice". Also in 2013, Maher appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and offered to pay $5 million to a charity if Donald Trump would produce his birth certificate to prove that Trump's mother had not mated with an orangutan. Maher said this reportedly in response to Trump having previously challenged President Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate, and having offered $5 million payable to a charity of Obama's choice if Obama would produce his college applications, transcripts, and passport records.
