Damon will employ the House of Lies gang, led by Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell, to help him start a charitable organization to compete with George Clooney. Cheadle and Damon previously starred in the Ocean's Eleven movies.
Damon is among a slew of guest stars headed to the half-hour comedy in the new season, which will see House vet Lisa Edelstein and Adam Brody making appearances.
Damon is a narrator in Showtime's eight-part documentary series on climate change, Years of Living From Dangerously, from Jerry Weintraub and James Cameron.
House of Lies returns Sunday evening.
