Matt Damon and David Letterman hide in plain sight on The Gilded Age Season 4

Matt Damon and David Letterman made wordless cameos at about 8:33 of The Gilded Age Season 4 premiere.

The two actors walk together across the screen in period costume as silent background characters. Damon wears a top hat, ascot and long coat with sideburns and a fuzzy mustache.

Letterman wears a bowler hat and all-black outfit with his familiar beard. The two characters utter no words and do not interact with main characters.

Their brief appearance adds a touch of humour without disrupting the story. The premiere also featured a wedding, a reunion between former lovers, and significant plot developments for multiple characters.
