Celebs Try The New Yorker Caption Contest: Nanjiani, Bautista & More
Celebrity stars step into The New Yorker’s caption contest, trading punch lines with the magazine’s iconic cartoons.
The New Yorker’s caption contest has drawn a celebrity lineup this week, with Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista entering the field. Bautista, known for his role in Stuber, brings his action-movie swagger to the magazine’s cartoons as he tries to out-joke the panel.
Adam Scott is in the mix, trying his hand at captioning the same cartoons and hoping to spark a few laughs as readers weigh in.
Abbi Jacobson and Zach Woods have also joined, offering captions that blend character-driven humor with a sharp, contemporary edge.
Danny DeVito closes the guest roster, bringing decades of improv and screen presence to the page in his bid to snag the top caption.
These entries underscore the New Yorker’s enduring appeal: a simple cartoon can become a shared moment of wit that crosses generations, while celebrities quietly reveal their playful sides to a broad audience.
