Zarf Transforms "The View"

Rosie O'Donnell wasn't the only lesbian rocking the stage at a recent "View" taping.Click to return to TMZ.com
TMZ has learned that after the taping of an episode of the chat show, audience members were kept in the studio for a performance by "All My Children's" resident male-to-female transgendered British lesbian rockstar, Zarf/Zoe/Freddy. The "View" set doubled for a fictional episode of Erica Kane's own Pine Valley talker, "New Beginnings."

In the episode which aired Tuesday, Erica (Susan Lucci) introduced Zarf -- now referred to as Zoe -- who sang "The Me Inside" to a packed house of shocked Long Island yentas and vacationing midwestern housewives. Sources at the taping tell TMZ that many in the audience seemed bewildered by Zarf and the performance.

Like they've never seen a man dressed like Doris Roberts on New Year's Eve!

2. I am sure the audience members of The View enjoyed it. You could not pay me to be in the audience of The View, so the audience got what they deserved!

5. What the Hell is a Zarf? is he/she somehow related to ALF? Where is All My Children going with this? and why do I care?

7. That show soooooo sucks now! I'm so surprised Barbara Walters has affiliated herself with that trash a/k/a Rosie O'Donnell. There goes her credibility in my opinion!

9. I saw the episode and Zarf/Zoe/Freddy rocked! Who cares about the story line?

10. The character's given name is Freddy Zarf. As a male rockstar, he just went by "Zarf", but now that he's going through a transgender transformation, he's changing his name to Zoe. Clear enough to all you closed minded people?

BTW- Zoe is flying off into the sunset with Erica Kane's lesbian daughter Bianca (for a possible return later down the line).

11. So the audience was made to stay after the View taping?
Looks like All My Children got a bunch of free extras for their freak show taping!
I wonder if anyone in the audience was offered a release to sign?
If I somehow lost all my senses and found myself at the View show, I would have INSISTED to be let out ASAP.
I used to like AMC, but now I wouldn't watch it if they paid me.
I used to like the View, but once Rosie became a part of the show, I won't watch it either.
