Is there any extant audio or video of Gygax or Arneson running a game of D&D?

Not that I'm aware of. But there are plenty of records of Gygax running games at GenCon and a few other conventions...most of them are in articles from Polyhedron and Dragon Magazine. (This is also true for Arneson and Greenwood.) Those articles are hard to track down, but they can give you a pretty good feel for how the "old guard" of Dungeon Masters ran their tables.

I think Gygax would occasionally post here on ENWorld, too, back in the day (username: @Col_Pladoh ). In fact, I remember he did a Q&A back in the early 2000s....ah. Here's the link:

TSR - Q&A with Gary Gygax

This is the multi-year Q&A sessions held by D&D co-creator Gary Gygax here at EN World, beginning in 2002 and running up until his sad pasing in 2008. Gary's username in the thread below is Col_Pladoh, and his first post in this long thread is Post #39.
