I'm not sure if they still have them available as part of Prime, but a while back Amazon had several of his old television specials included with Prime. PBS networks like to air them once in a while.

Some of his comedy is very physical. It's amazing he can play well while doing some of it. If you can find it, check out his Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt that he does as a duet with a 2nd pianist on 1 piano. There are multiple versions of it from different points in his life, all incredible.
