On the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, prior to the release of John Lennon's "Double Fantasy LP, Tommy Smothers said "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" as a wisecrack that got a laugh. I saw this show and recognized the line later when Lennon's album came out. Unless Lennon had shared this lyric with Smothers at an earlier date, Lennon, who was known to be an avid TV watcher, saw the same show and made this a lyric in his song.

Sinners can repent, but stupid is forever.
