Resolution Revolution

A digital short featuring Drake, Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah, and Sasheer Zamata singing a catchy tune about making New Year's resolutions and how easy they are to make compared to keeping them. Drake raps about giving up drinking ("salute!") before immediately ordering a drink at a bar, Taran sings about quitting junk food while eating chips, Jay's resolution involves giving up sex toys (featuring a humorous scene with an inflatable doll), and Sasheer sings about her fitness goals. The video humorously shows everyone quickly breaking their resolutions in various comedic settings, including a memorable cosplay/LARP scene where Drake declares "I am a f***ing dragon!" The sketch perfectly captures the universal experience of New Year's resolution failure with humor and a memorable, catchy song.

This was Sasheer Zamata's first episode as an SNL cast member, making her the fifth African-American female cast member in the show's history and the first since Maya Rudolph's departure in 2007. The video has received 485,627+ views on YouTube (as of January 2018 reupload). Duration: 2 minutes 26 seconds (146 seconds). The sketch received strong positive reception in comments, with many praising Drake's rap flow and the catchy nature of the song. Several viewers noted they wished this had been released as a full-length song. Drake performed "double duty" this episode as both host and musical guest.
